We received this message from a grateful recipient. “Thank you so much. I am so elated with your generosity, my apartment is now a home. My sincere appreciation to all at Besom”.

A few months ago we were collecting a bed settee from a friend and giver. The neighbour across the road had several flower planters on the grass verge to prevent people parking on the grass. Unfortunately whilst reversing into our friends drive I drove over one of the planters completely demolishing it. Unfortunately the neighbour wasn’t in so my friend said that he would apologise on my behalf. Whilst apologizing to the neighbour our friend explained all about Besom. How it depends on prayer etc. Fast forward a few months and the neighbour is wanting to pass on a settee which they are replacing because they need something smaller. The settee is a three seater and we don’t always take three seater settees but it just seemed too good an opportunity to miss… Read More »Sofa So Good

Here is our new van with brand new decals. Thank you to the Besom Network who researched and developed the new branding, it is bold and eye catching. The Love, Pray, Give and Go is our hashtag and describes what we do. You definitely will not miss it when out on the road. Please give us a toot if you like it.

Gods Plan Many thanks to all who have been praying for our Sheffield Besom since we had our van stolen 2 weeks ago. Thanks also to the NFU insurers who have been very efficient and professional, sorting everything in under a week! but I mostly want to give thanks for Gods grace and timing in this situation…… At our weekly prayer meeting the morning before the van was stolen a discussion was had about the possibility (or not) of getting a van which could go in the Clean Air Zone and prayers followed.

It was a beautiful day in Manchester where we held our Northern Gathering. Besoms from The Wirral, York and Sheffield met to worship, pray and support each other. It was a wonderful day sharing fellowship together. Thank you to St Werburgh’s Church who hosted us and provided all the support we needed to make it a great success. Who knows there might be a Besom in Manchester next year.

We have delivered many things over the years but never a whole house with a lift, a car and many other items!. Two little girls will be delighted to play with it when they visit their father. Thank you Lord. #besomsheffield

And so it begins – the Besom Hamper season. Pictured is our hamper supremo who is in her happy place. Hampers are delivered to recipients that we have worked with throughout the year. Some people deliver their own, if appropriate, but most are delivered by us on your behalf. It’s our favourite time of year. thank you Lord.

We were given a small washing machine and offered it to a young man thinking he might reject it even though we had told him it was only a 3.5kg load. He was delighted because he only had a small kitchen and a larger one would not have fitted into the space allocated for a washer. Thank you Lord. #besomsheffield

Thank you to a group of wonderful people from The Well in Sheffield who gave up their precious Saturday to transform a recipients kitchen. Thank you also to Bekah Gregg who so ably gathered the team and led them so well on the day. It was an amazing result. Thank you Lord.

Well done to the wonderful team from STC Sheffield who gave up a day to help an elderly lady whose lounge needed transforming. It was a pleasure to work with them and it was great to see how they worked with such care and compassion for the recipient. Thanks especially to Chris for organising the day.
