Is there going to be some kind of Christmas project for the homeless similar to the Dome takeover that they've done in the past? Might be worth seeing if anything can be done for that. Rickshaw rides for rough sleepers anyone?
That was 7 years ago, it has been running for 38 years, it has become a lot more distributed since then, it is the thing I've been posting about, it is called Crisis at Christmas and there are several shelters opened to the homeless between the 23rd and the 30th with access to many services; barbers/hairdressers, dentists, legal advice, housing advice, addiction counselling, clothing et c, et c. people apply to volunteer early in the year in order to be able to be involved in what can be an occasionally emotionally rewarding experience.
As I posted earlier, I've asked how we may help, and today I was asked if we would want to fund items that would go directly to guests, (eg bras or boxer shorts), or would we be happy to fund items to help run the healthcare service at CC, this year they need to buy 8 kitbags for the mobile healthcare teams which will cost around £800.
Please give me your thoughts guys...
