Shelter Week 2020 Update
Following government guidelines, we were unable to operate shelter week this year but we still wanted to try and make a difference where possible.
With the generosity of Asda Barnes Hill who donated money and essential items we created winter backpacks for rough sleepers. A heartfelt thank you to Asda, two of our team leaders, Chantel and Karen who helped pack the bags and to our friends at SIFA Fireside for distributing them on our behalf.
We want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who’s supported the charity throughout this difficult year and we hope to see you all at Shelter week 2021.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
How you can help
We depend entirely on donations and volunteers. Throughout the Christmas period, volunteers are organised into teams under the guidance and support of an Area Team Leader who will ensure things run smoothly and allocate jobs to do. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Because we are a self-funded charity, the other 51 weeks of the year volunteers participate by helping us with fundraising, running and coming to events and helping plan and organise for the next year!
