1/. In 2018, when freezing temperatures hit, we put a clothes rail outside a church with a sign:
IF YOU'RE COLD, TAKE ONE
IF YOU CAN HELP, LEAVE ONE
What happened next was miraculous
Four years on, this simple, sticky idea is still going & is spreading #TakeOneLeaveOne #TOLO
2/. If you’re feeling the cold tonight, image what’s like to be homeless, sleeping rough or struggling to heat your home
Why not drop off some warm clothes at your nearest #TakeOneLeaveOne rail or set up a #TOLO rail where you are?

Victor from #TOLOThortonHeath which, like #TOLOVauxhall, has being running non-stop for a year
Why not set up a #TakeOneLeaveOne rail
5/. The #TakeOneLeaveOne site in Brighton is running every day
Whilst it’s great that #TOLO rails are popping up across the UK, the fact that they should be needed in one of the richest economies in the world is an obscenity & is a failure of government.
6/. In Leeds, the #TakeOneLeaveOne rail has made a welcome return
This simple idea to help homeless people & those suffering hardship has grown from 1 rail in 2018 to more than 30 rails in 2020 & 2021
This winter - with your help - there’ll be even more
