I am seeking to raise £1000 for Open House Rochester (a registered charity) which provides hot meals and drinks, and a warm, non-judgmental, safe space every Saturday. Whenever we can we provide clothes, toiletries and tinned/dried food to help support our neighbours in need.

Food and energy price inflation has massively raised our running costs and we rely on donations to keep up this vital service.

This fundraiser will:

1. contribute to our running costs for the year ahead

2. purchase tents, sleeping bags and essentials for those in a state of emergency this winter, and

3. add fresh fruit to our weekly offering of hot meals and sandwiches to help improve the health of our guests.

Anything up to £1000 will be matched by my company, so every donation you make will go even further.

thank you,

Grace

Other ways to help:

We are also always in need of warm clothing, socks, toiletries and camping gear. If you would like to make an in kind donation we can arrange collection / drop off in the Medway towns and surrounding area.

We are also always in need of volunteers! So if you would like to donate a bit of your time, you would be enormously welcome. Please message me or whomever sent you this link. We ask for just a few hours per shift on a Saturday, and there is no minimum commitment for how many shifts you do - every pair of hands is a huge help.
