'My Things Matter'
CICC wants to make moving to a new home easier for children in care in East Sussex. Sometimes, there are not enough bags to carry all your things. We can give you FREE canvas bags and strong plastic boxes to help you carry and protect your things when you move. Ask your social worker or the CICC to get these items.
