Many new tenancies fail in the initial stages because of a lack
of financial resources to provide the basic household items that
turn a house into a home. Starter packs go some way to helping eliminate
the "revolving door" situation that too often happens when debt
incurred in setting up home leads to getting into rent arrears,
being evicted and having to start all over again.
Starter
packs consist of household items such as cutlery, crockery, pots
and pans, kitchen utensils, cleaning materials, personal hygiene
items, towels, bedding and bed linen. Most items are good quality
used items, some are new.
Starter Packs Angus receives goods donated by individuals,
businesses and organisations in the local community; organises
teams of volunteers to sort, store and assemble the collected
items into starter packs; and liaises with a range of agencies
across Angus to put the starter packs into the households who
really need them.
