Most people are often only one pay check away from being homeless. Situation is not a character and there is no way of telling how anyone has reached the situation they're in. Whilst it is the 'season of giving' there is an opportunity to give back, helping some those who find themselves homeless this Christmas.

Local services and charities often receive the most donations at this time of year, with many other services helping. These care packages are aimed at being a little bit of the essentials but also a little bit of a caring gift too;

Every £5 donation will provide one care package containing;

- Socks - Gloves - Water - Non-perishable food items - Wet wipes - Sanitary items (where needed) - Toothbrush/paste - Handmade card and message (probably made by an unsuspecting niece or nephew of mine) - Infographic card or number for local services

Each donation can be paired with a small gift too if you are feeling extra Elf-fie such as;

+ £5 donation; Gift card (for Costa or similar) - Day pass to local gym (for use of shower) - Grooming kit (Comb, nail clippers e.t.c) - Bus pass (Bristol) - Book

+ £10 donation; Gift card (for Costa or similar) - Gift card for mens haircut - Bus pass (London)

*Also currently looking into the best way to donate or gift reusable sanitary items because its 2018 and period poverty is real*

If you would like to donate a gift if you could write it in the comments with the donation and I will make sure it is received by someone! The above is just a suggestion, anything else just let me know.

If you do have anything bigger you have and would like to donate (coats, sleeping bags, hats e.t.c) I am happy to pick them up for donation (London or Bristol) - Just give me a message.

Thank you and Merry Christmas xx
