"...over the last six months we have seen a huge increase in people who are new to rough sleeping, they are the most vulnerable, the most at risk. With the rise in the cost of living, some people just cannot afford basic rented accommodation."
Polly. Founder and CEO Amazing Opportunities CIO
We survive on donations together with what we can sell, and are thankful to our fundraising team, but sadly it's never enough to help everybody who approaches us - That's why we urgently need your help and generosity.
PLEASE Donate
With no statutory funding for our services we rely on donations from individuals, church groups, schools and businesses to supplement our fundraising activities to continue providing the much needed support and services to the homeless in Worcestershire.
PLEASE BUY SOMETHING
We are committed to help people in need by enterprise - we offer training and opportunity so individuals can make something that can be sold, that provides the income for their wages. Because of declining footfall in the high street and soaring rents we have taken the bold step to reduce overheads and close our retail shop but sell items in new, exciting and untried ways for a charity.
We have planned a series of 'pop-up' shops within major chains and retail parks; a number of pitches at popular markets; a strong internet presence, and aa link with a major publisher & greeting card supplier.
We are proud of our links with Subtle Puns, the well known publisher of humorous books and greetings cards. Subtle Puns employ individuals we are helping to pack and print their amazingly funny books, creating a 'win win' for both enterprises - demonstrating how beneficial links with businesses can be for charities.​
using humour to help the homeless.
We are popping up all over the place!
Our new pop up shops can be found outside Next and Argos at Malvern Retail Park, At Morrison/Warner in Upton on Severn, in the Foyer of the Coop in Malvern Link, outside Waitrose in Great Malvern, the list goes on. Phone for details for our timetable of where you can buy, cards, candles, bird feeders, our famous button men, pictures, and special gifts for your friends and family!
'pop-up' shops
GARDEN PLANTS
A really growing part part of our enterprise!
We are very fortunate to have a couple of horticulturists with us at the moment, who are growing what seems like a never ending supply of garden plants for us. Flowers, shrubs, vegetables all ready for planting on. Available on our markets and pop-up shops in season.
Our outdoor showcase of creative talent.
En-Plein Air started as an outdoor arts and crafts market in Summer 2023 on Belle Vue Terrace in the centre of Malvern as a collaborative venture with Malvern District Council to promote local artists and demonstrate the skills of those we help at Amazing Opportunities CIO.
Starting again in the Spring of 2025 in a new and exciting location - look out for details!
