Charities
We love supporting local charities, there are so many in the area that help families.
Bumps and Beyond
Bumps & Beyond is a charity in central Stamford that helps families source clothing and equipment for children under 12 years old. We cover a variety of areas including Rutland, South Kesteven and Peterborough. We seek a world where no parent or caregiver has to worry about essential equipment or clothing. We rely on donations from the public to support us and are currently open to the public 3 days a week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays 9:30-1:30pm. As part of our day to day role we help all families to make sure they have what they need to support their family. This could be from clothing, pushchairs, car seats, toys, nappies, milk and other essentials. We also help families who are in crisis and have fled from difficult circumstances. We support these families and make sure they have everything they need to provide for their family.

Our In-House Day Opportunities service offers good quality building and community-based day services for older people and people with learning and physical disabilities. The service helps people to live independent and fulfilling lives. We will help people using the service, to develop friendships and to do the everyday things that are important to them. We will also ensure people can be part of and make important contributions to their local communities. The service also provides a level of support for the wider family.
Day opportunities help people to:
Make positive contributions to the community, make friends, develop relationships and the people we support have personalised activity plans which reflect their interests.
Take part in various interest and activities:
Baking, cooking, gardening and horticulture, independent living skills, volunteering in their local community, craft projects, micro enterprise ideas, coffee mornings, fund raising or simply to have fun.
These activities are a great way to improve wellbeing. It is a chance for the people we support to meet others, build confidence, learn new skills and to live life to the full.
