Rehoboth Well CIC

We have continued to build up the company through the 3 shops in Burslem, selling pre-loved clothing and pre-loved and upcycled furniture at very affordable prices and receiving an award for our Family Engagement. We continue to work with many agencies including Stoke on Trent City Council and Port Vale Foundation, Social Prescribers, and other agencies, providing families in need, vulnerable adults and women, some of which have come out of domestic violence with free clothing, household items and furniture. We have also connected with the Princes Trust, offering placements for young people struggling with education. They have placements with us which encourages them to participate in our day-to-day running of the shops, furniture upcycling and building up their skills for future employment. The Rehoboth Well CIC has been awarded funding to expand our work and in turn, can reach more people in need in the community. This funding has also meant that we have been able to employ one of our volunteers who has come through addiction recovery and is now helping to shape the future of Rehoboth. The impact on the community has been very successful in many ways. The bringing back into use 3 shops in a very disadvantaged area, in itself has brought life back to a struggling town. The working together with agencies has given families and individuals struggling to make ends meet, the very provisions they were in desperate need for. The volunteers are invaluable to what we do, and in turn they receive training and work experience which increases employability.
