£21k of items donated to Sefton homelessness charity

Homelessness charity Emmaus Merseyside has received a generous £21k donation of cleaning products and personal protective equipment (PPE) from Mulberry Innovations.

The 10-pallet donation from Mulberry Innovations included a mix of cloths, mops, buckets and soap dispensers along with hygienic hand gel and face masks. Donated items will be used within the Emmaus Merseyside community home, Charity Superstore and distributed to other groups and charities in need.

Osman Nidai, Managing Director of Mulberry Innovations, said: “We are delighted to be able to support Emmaus again with a donation which will help to keep people safe in their home and workplace. The Mulberry Innovations team is proud to support different Emmaus communities across the country as well as other groups connected to their work.”
