Mohammed Raj Hussain, the owner of Hench Supplements

A Rochdale health store has joined forces with a local charity branch to reach out to the homeless and vulnerable during the winter season, by providing free bags of winter essentials.

Whitworth Road-based Hench Supplements has teamed up with One Nation, based on Milkstone Road, to give out free bags consisting of hats, gloves, socks, toiletries and protein bars to those in need.

They are inviting anyone who is in need to visit the Hench store at 74 Whitworth Road and collect a bag.

Mojahid Ali, One Nation Rochdale Branch Manager, said: “We would like to say a big thank you to Hench Supplements for coming forward to help those in need. Hench Supplements is one of many local businesses that have always supported our projects and we are very grateful to them.

“We urge all businesses who are in a position to help to please contact us and help keep our communities warm together.”

One Nation is a UK-based humanitarian charity which supports local, national and international projects, from providing hot food and support for the homeless to providing emergency aid, clean water, food, clothes and shelters in devastated countries around the world.
