Story
We're a group of 15-16 year olds taking part in the government funded NCS programme. As part of the program, we've been lucky enough to get involved with a local charity, namely Batley Homeless Project. Inspired by their passion and stories, we're taking part in a sponsored sleep out to raise money, so that we can raise awareness and understand the ordeals that homeless people in our local area endure everyday. This money will go towards making care packages full of food, toiletries, sanitary products,and warm clothes,to be given out to those without shelter or living below the poverty line. These packs will also include a letter or picture drawn by a young person in the local area to brighten the day of someone without the emotional support we all take for granted. As well as this, we will be handing out hot meals and drinks to the people who would otherwise go without, in conjunction with the hard working existing members of Batley Homeless Project. Finally, we're creating care cards, featuring the phone numbers and details of organisations who can provide much needed assistance,and additional information for the public regarding how they can help homeless people they see in their community everyday. All profits, products, and packages will be handed out in Dewsbury and Kirklees, with everyone who needs it being given complete access. If we exceed our goal,the money will go towards installing a shower in the nearby Sparks Skills centre to provide a useful and convenient facility for homeless people.
