Maypole Project National Helpline Goes Live
The Maypole Project is thrilled to launch its national helpline which offers a confidential service to families with children living with complex medical needs by people who understand. The helpline means support is simply a phone call away.
The Maypole Project Helpline offers emotional support to parents and professionals by volunteers trained to listen, understand and help them through a difficult time. Dialling 01689 889889 gives adults telephone access to one-off or ongoing support tailored to suit their needs. Our thanks go to solicitors Irwin Mitchell for sponsoring this vital service.
Orpington Shop Now Open
The second Maypole Project shop opened in Orpington High Street in September. A mixture of pre-loved and brand new goods fill the shelves and wall space in this spacious shop. Come to Orpington to browse and buy at 161 High Street to support your local childrens’ charity. Or pop along with your no-longer needed possessions to donate as desirable stock. For details about donating stock or volunteering, please call Jo on 01689 874335.
