Please Donate Food and Household Consumables
Basics Bank is very dependent on your generosity towards us.
Without your help we could not provide for those in the locality who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Most places of worship within the New Forest area have crates for you to put your donations in.
There are large collection baskets in:
- Waitrose Lymington
- Co-op at Ampress, Lymington
- Co-op Hordle
- Community Shop Pilly
- Welcome (in partnership with Southern Co-op)
