What We Do!

Besom enables followers of Jesus to put God's love into action by giving generously, creatively & effectively to those in need by providing:

Bedding & Towel Packs

When people move into Emergency accommodation we can also provide new bedding & towels

Electrical Packs

This may include small electrical items such as new Toasters, Kettles & Microwaves.

Food Packs

Each week we prepare and deliver dozens of food packs to individuals, couples and families that have been referred to us.

Each pack will contain enough for at least three days of balanced food, including fresh fruit & vegetables.

We also provide Citizens Advice in Surrey Heath with Emergency 24hr bags to give.

Home Starter Packs

When people move into Emergency accommodation or into their first flat and they have nothing, we can help with household starter packs, everything we provide is new (or as new).

New Baby Packs

These usually include a Moses basket and/or baby bath with bedding, baby toiletries & baby clothes (for up to 6 month olds).

Toiletries & Cleaning Packs

When requested on referrals we can also add toiletries ans/or cleaning materials to the Food packs.

Refugee Support

We have supported Syrian and Afghan refugee families with everything they need to set up home and settle in, including food until such time they became self-sufficient. In 2022 we have begun also to support Ukrainian families, with New baby packs and now with Home Starter packs as they move out of their sponsored homes into independent rented accommodation.

Christmas Hampers

Each year we prepare Christmas Hampers and deliver up to 150 local families and individuals, who have been referred to us. They contain most of the items you would expect to enjoy over Christmas such as: puddings, cakes, luxury biscuits, chocolates, mince pies and a gift for each family member.
