Story
As you have seen recently the UK has been covered in a white carpet of snow. With this beautiful scenery comes exceptionally cold conditions.
Now this is fine if you are sat inside by an open fire sipping on your second glass of mulled wine, however some people are not that fortunate.
Some are unfortunate enough to be living outside in these freezing temperatures with nothing more than a few jackets to keep them warm.
Now I know I have many successful people on my facebook, all I am asking for is a very small donation off as many people as possible (wether that be £1 or £100)
With the money I raise from your donations and my own I plan on putting together a 'Winter Package' for as many homeless people as possible.
This will include items such as:
- Hat, gloves and scarf – protection from the elements
- Socks – we have been told this is a must appreciated gift from homeless people, getting them out of a current wet pair or to double up for warmth
- Toothbrush & toothpaste – helping keep good hygiene
- Water bottle – a re-usable bottle for water
- Snacks (cereal bars, chocolate bars, chewing gum, mints etc)
- A Comb (basic things we take for granted, but makes you feel better when you have been able to comb or brush your hair)
The cost of making the bag is roughly £13.
Im hoping to try help at least 20 homeless people in and around sheffield.
We sometimes don't realise how fortunate we are, with your help I can make this a reality.
Thank You.

6 years agoI just wanted to once again say a HUGE thank you to everyone who generously donated. Thanks to all you donations we have managed to help 15 homeless people so far who are so so grateful. Some to the extent of tears. The remaining 5 packs are in the back of my car ready to be given out to those I see while driving around. If you have me on Facebook then you will have seen the constant updates I am posting. Thanks Again Tom Henderson :)
