New Forest Basics Bank provides basics for people in need locally
The New Forest Basics Bank supplies food and household necessities to people who are struggling on low or no income in Lymington and the New Forest. In 2019 Oliver Stanley took on the role of Chairman and is ably supported by his wonderful team of volunteers. In 2020 the New Forest Basics Bank moved to its new much bigger location at Cannon Street East Car Park.
