Provision House (formerly known as Loaves ‘N’ Fishes) is a Christian charity based in the West Midlands who are committed to the relief of poverty and all its effects on the people of Sandwell, Dudley and the wider Black Country.

During the past month, a new cohort of students began their training programme to help them progress into employment.

It’s also been a great beginning to the year for their charity shop, The Provision Emporium, which has seen increased demand already with some great pieces of furniture that have been donated. The Emporium are running a general sale on women’s clothing (jumpers, cardigans & top) as well as multiple articles of children’s clothing – all for £1

These are some great discounts currently on offer their store at 80-81 Dudley High St. The opening hours are Monday-Friday (9:30AM-4:00PM)
