People have been messaging and asking how they can help and what we need.
We have compiled (a lengthy!) list of everything that we use and always need. Every item helps so even if it is one packet of baby wipes this does make a difference.
We have drop off points in Burton, Fairmile, Somerford and a couple of other local locations or we can collect at certain times. We want to thank people for the already wonderful help we get and without your help and support we could not continue what we do.
- Anything that can help us cook the meals for the service users is always appreciated. We cook a nutritious meal 6 days a week and always need meat, vegetables, potatoes etc. We use mince, sausages, chicken pieces and stewing beef as these can be turned in some lovely tasty/nutritious slow cooker meals. - Coffee - Orange squash - Large long life apple or orange juice cartons - UHT milk (we use a carton every session) - Sugar - Biscuits - Chocolate bars - Fresh fruit - Baby wipes (need many all the time as people do not have access to running water) - Large bottles of still water - Lip balm - Roll on deodorants - Dry shampoo - Tampons and sanitary towels - Anti mosquito spray/balm (definitely needed when sleeping rough rurally in the warmer months) - Shaving foam - Razors - Men’s t-shirts - Men’s longer shorts - Men’s jeans - Socks - mens and womens
- Men's boxers, don’t need to be new but must be in good condition - Good quality thick hoodies (men and womens) - Thick waterproof coats - Belts - Sleeping bags - Small portable tents - Yoga mats/roll mats (to sleep on) - 5 litre pump hot water dispensers - Unwanted unlocked mobile phones with chargers (yes you do need to keep in touch and book appointments even if you are on the streets. Some places also charge phones for free)
