In the coming weeks our thoughts are going to start turning to Christmas and the forthcoming family events planned and with the added excitement of children and grand children getting a visit off a certain jolly man in a red suit. For some people this is a sad time as they have no home or family to speak of and the time will pass like any other day in the cold with no food, shelter or clean clothes. It’s with this thought on our minds we have decided to start a collection in the lead up to Christmas for the men, women and children, homeless at this time of year. All items will be dropped at our local homeless shelter in the weeks just before Christmas. (a date will be confirmed nearer the time).
Examples of items we are trying to collect are non perishable food items, toiletries, warm clothing i.e. hats, scarves, gloves, socks, underwear etc, sleeping bags, rucksacks and anything else you can think off. We also think it may be nice to send a selection of Christmas cards to provide them with a bit of hope at this time of year. We will be placing the pram in reception and we ask that all donations are placed in here and we will store them until our visit. We hope you feel this is a worthwhile cause like us and will support us in providing a little something to these unfortunate people who are not as fortunate as ourselves.
