Story
Jack for the 2nd year has decided to do Chepstow Stampede in aid of SLS. Last year he raised enough to buy 30 sleeping bags making 30 homeless a little warmer last winter. Let's try and beat that this year!!!
SLS is a community group, set up to support projects that help the homeless via outreach rough sleeper projects and family hostels across Cardiff, Newport, Merthyr and Bristol. Their focus is ensuring the rough sleeper projects they help have the resources they need to support the work they do kerbside. Furthermore they do monthly collections on a rotational basis helping the vulnerably housed in safe houses and family hostels and run seasonal collection campaigns helping nearly 20 centres & projects working directly with the homeless.
SLS evolved from a shortage of sandwich packs for the Bristol Street Life project 2014 and from that plea of help, an outpouring of love and generosity for this cause created this amazing group with over 1000 members in Wales & over 700 in the SLS Bristol hub. Across 2 hubs they provide 560+ sandwich packs monthly for Street Life Bristol & packs on an adhoc basis for Edengate Newport.
"Have you ever wondered why people become homeless? Whilst its true that some homeless people prefer that way of living, and some have succumbed to substance and alcohol abuse, there are many other factors too, e.g.
* Poverty, caused by a variety of factors, e.g. redundancy
* Lack of affordable housing
* Mental illness
* Abuse, e.g. domestic violence, child abuse
* Changes in relationships, e.g. through adolescence
* Others have served their country, e.g. in the armed forces, and upon leaving their vocation have found civilian life difficult to adapt to."
SLS is an independent group based on a shared love, care and ability to help those who are homeless or vulnerable. They work to offer a pipe line of food, clothing & resources for projects, centres & individuals that work front line with the homeless & vulnerable in Newport, Bristol, Cwmbran, Cardiff & the Merthyr areas.
SLS work solely on donations. Every penny is spent on these vulnerable people.
