Story
We are a team of people just like You.
We work separate jobs and have our own family's but give our evenings to support the local community 'The Homeless'
We provide warm clothes, tents, sleeping bags and warm food, But.
Most importantly a friendly smile and a listening ear,
The people we help have a variety of reasons as to why they are there.
We are all one redundancy or Illness too close to being there ourselves.
They vary in age from 19-85. War heroes, family breakups, disability, pregnancy and so many more.
We are asking for support so we can expand what we offer.
Currently we are covering
Rochester and Strood 24 known Homeless
Gillingham 30 plus Homeless
Recently started Rainham so far 2 Homeless
We are asking for donations so we can go further from our hometowns and help more people.
We are not a charity, we do not get funding. Every thing we supply is donated or bought by us.
We will be using your donations to buy:- sleeping bags,
cookers, gas bottles, underwear, socks, food and toiletries.
Please give your spare change to us, to help us keep them safe this winter.

8 years agoWith 12 days to go until the end of our fundraiser we are at £400. Thank you so much to the 21 that have donated. You know who you are and we are eternally grateful. As it says these donations will be spent wholely on sleeping bags and camping stoves/gas for the homeless. We get so many lovely donations of clothes and duvets and without all forms of support we could not be there to help those most in need. Thanks once again. Amber.
