Story
We are raising money to provide 100 backpacks for homeless people in London, with it being winter, essentials listed below can really help and improve someone's life that's sleeping rough.
Just £10 will pay for the bag and all its contents, but donate whatever you can!
Each backpack will contain:
1x Beenie Hat
1x Pair of Gloves
1x Pair of Thick Socks
1x Pack of Babywipes
1x Toothbrush
1x Toothpaste
1x Rain Poncho
1x Pack of Tissues
1x Bar of Soap
1x Bottle of Water
1x Lucazade
1x Pack of Cookies
1x Notepad and Pen
We will also carry a bag of supplies for ladies and also some dog food for any dog owners
We intend to buy most of this from pound shops but any suggestions of where we can get stuff cheaper are welcome!
And also if you can think of anything we missed off this list that could be good to include drop us a message, please!
We will be driving round and giving them out by hand in various areas in London once we have packaged everything up :)
Thank you, everyone!
Update: We smashed the £500 in less than 3 hours so have upped the target!

7 years agoQuick update: So we have completely smashed the target but frustratingly, you have to wait until the end of the 30-day campaign before the money is released... wish I had known this before and would have maybe done this some other way, but anyway there is always a solution! a good friend of mine is going to front me the cash until it is released so we can get to work on buying the supplies and getting them out to people, it's killing me seeing people knowing that we could be helping them out especially when it's this cold! Thanks again!

7 years agoWow... I'm a bit lost for words, I thought I would struggle to raise £500 but we have smashed that in less than 3 hours! So I'm going to aim for 100 bags now... Would be great to do that also any money left over will be donated to the homeless shelter in Whitechapel that we have worked with before - big thanks to everyone who has donated, and to everyone that has offered to help out!!
