Good Gifts

Looking for a special present for somebody? Not sure what to buy? Well, why not consider a gift that make such a difference? Feel good about giving when you buy a charitable gift from whitechaple Mission. Not only will you be helping a worthy cause, but your lucky recipient will recieve a gift pack with information about the charity and a unique gift certificate to open on their special day. Before we can help somebody make a claim for housing benefit or unemployment, they need to be able to prove who they are. This means a birth certificate, passport or other photo ID. Not so easy if you are sleeping rough. To help somebody get their foot on the first rung of the ladder costs £11.40. If you are struggling to find the right gift for somebody, why not consider buying a birth certificate in their name, or a blanket to keep a homeless person warm tonight? To continue our work amongst London’s poor and homeless costs more than £500,000 every year, so it's hardly surprising that we really mean it when we say that every penny counts. And one of the methods we hope to use to bring in those vital funds is to sell a wide range of socially responsible gifts. Our groundbreaking work, funded overwhelmingly by donations from the general public, delivers services that are designed to change lives.
