How it Started
Help Others Together started in 2019.
Since 2019 Grace has been raising money, Collecting Donations, Making up Care Packages and helping as many Charites and people as possible.
​​
2019
It all started with Care Packages made up by and hand delivered by Grace with small activities and toys for the day wards for the Children Ward to the local Hospital at Easter.
​​
At Christmas she delivered Care Packages and Presents to the Children's & Geriatric Wards at the Hospital.
​​
She collected and donated items for the Women Refuge so people who needed it had something for Christmas. ​
Using money she had raised she purchased Bacon, Chocolate, Warm Gloves and Socks for the Homeless Charities in Portsmouth

She also made and delivered enrichments for the animals at The ARK RSPCA centre.
​​
2020
Grace had already decided to make up the Care Packages for the day wards at the hospital, however the Pandemic put a stop to that.
​​
She decided that instead she would say Thank You to everyone who had been working so hard over the Pandemic by baking and delivering over 100 Cakes to the local Fire, Ambulance, A&E and Children's Wards, using her own money to buy the ingredients.
​​
After seeing a post on Facebook about the Children's Ward having a shortage of craft things due to Covid, she decided that instead of asking for certain toys she would use the money to purchase craft and stimulation activities.

Sad News this year. Wave 105 have now closed and been replaced by Greatest hits, meaning that the radio station is no longer so local, we have seen a backlash on this as people are not sure if the money raised stays in the local area.
