A team of female international event planners based in Manchester is supporting a local women’s charity to mark International Women’s Day (8 March).
Staff at the Taylor Lynn Corporation (TLC) have sourced and created 100 hygiene packs which will be donated to Emmeline’s Pantry, a specialist food bank in Greater Manchester dedicated to and run by women.
Containing basic hygiene items including shampoo, sanitary products, toothpaste, shower gel, and toothbrushes, people will be able to choose from the packs the essentials items that they need. All items will go to those who may be struggling to feed and clothe themselves or their families, or who have had to leave their homes with nothing.
Liz Taylor, founder and CEO, explains more about the initiative: “I know the packs the team have created will be a real lifeline for many. I hope it proves that no matter how large or small your event company may be, we can all do something to help our local communities.”
Karen Wilson, charity manager, from Emmeline’s Pantry, added: “As a charitable entity we rely solely upon donations from the public. We are constantly expanding and five years on, our food bank now provides food, clothes, toiletries, and baby items to women in need and their families.”
“Some of the women we meet are afraid of the consequences of asking for help, that’s why we are and always will be a female run charity that is focused on helping women.”
