It's been a long road

It might not seem like much but...

Togs has been running for over a year now, and anyone who knows me will know the lengths that I have had to go to to get a bank account open for the company! over 6 months ago we started the process (after getting Directors in place) and yesterday I finally received our Account number and Sort Code. This means so much as not only can we bank some of the donations that we have already received, but we can get funding applications in and accept cash from kind donors who have already offered to make a one off or a regular gift by faster payment.

It was a more complicated process because we have a new kind of account- the Community Direct Plus by the Co-Op bank, which means more money goes back to our community rather than a standard business account. we had to prove that our business will genuinely be helping the community, and it looks like we are! :D

I had to celebrate by drawing it to announce the details should you want to make a payment to us. (I draw when I am happy) We are delighted to be able to use your funds to help vulnerable children. THANK-YOU. You can pay straight into this account number and sort code if you wish. If you have any enquiries comment or email me on togsfortotsdundee@gmail.com

Excuse me!?

Last week we laughed long and hard because Jane who was picking up a referral for a family thought that my volunteer Claire (who is 27) was my daughter for a minute (I am 34!) So you can safely say that the last 6 months must have speeded up the ageing process for me. I can relax a little now though, knowing our banking woes are over.

Welcome to our new blog! Follow us here so we can keep you up to date with the busy goings on here at Togs for Tots to Teens CIC. If you have followed our Facebook page, you will know that we update you regularly with how we help the community with our service designed to make sure no child goes without the essentials they need to become happy and healthy young adults.

Your donations have already helped over 700 children in the city of Dundee and the surrounding area, and with your support we can continue to work towards our aims. I hope you enjoy hearing about our success stories and continue to lend your help through so many means. There are tabs at the top of the page that tell you everything you need to know about Togs.

Today Claire and I (Claire is a referral volunteers) were over the moon to meet two expectant mothers and we were able to give them everything they need for their babies due soon...including two buggies that could have made a lot of money on the resale market...But as the donors wanted to know it was going to families who really need it; and by donating to us they know that every item is used to make real differences to those most in need. 💖

This is me having to entertain my Son at work...he is very good at letting Mummy work most of the time 😄
