We are liaising with a wonderful lady from the RSPCA Staffordshire North on the following scheme which in 48 hours has spread throughout the country and wonder if you would like donate and help us give to as many people as we can .

As we have a real problem with homeless people and we are expecting to have a really cold winter, we want to provide a "bag for life" with all the essential in to make lift a bit easier, also a bag for a dog as many have canine companions who are their only friend and mean so much to them.

The scheme has expanded to ;

Stoke/Crewe
Manchester
Birmingham
Wolverhampton...
Hull
York
Stourbridge
Leeds
Swansea
Basingstoke
Peterborough
Thanet
and expanding by the hour all from people just volunteering their time.

we are collecting from family and friends, donating items ourselves , but for those who can not physically get to us donations would be most gratefully accepted

This money donated would go to buying essential equipment to keep people warm and dry and can guarantee 100% of the funds are going where they're supposed to.

The more money raised, the more essentials we can provide.

we thank you from the bottom of our hearts
