1) The Trussell Trust has over 420 food banks that operate out of 1,200 centres across the UK. If you can, please, please contact your local food bank and ask what they need the most. There are over 13 million below the poverty line in the UK and more will be heading that way
2) Over the coming months. Some will be sleeping rough in parks, cars, tents and doorways trying to keep warm & dry. Please donate what you can, sleeping bags, tents, blankets, toiletries & food. Christmas is just round the corner so anything festive will be greatly received
Whilst many of us enjoy the warmth of a roof above our heads, clothes on our backs & food in our bellies there R those who have absolutely NOTHING. And whilst you may not be able 2 open your home to the homeless person, please call 2 donate what you can because EVERY penny helps
4) Don’t think for a single moment that everyone who sleeps rough are single men. Men, women, children of all ages, all colours, all creeds and religions need our help on a daily/weekly basis. Please take unwanted jumpers, jeans, shoes & boots. Socks, hats, gloves & scarves.
5) Try to put yourself in their position and think about what you’d need in a daily basis to make your life a little easier as the cold bites at your fingers & toes. Ask at your local cafe if they have a pay it forward policy so a homeless person can be given free a hot drink
and a hot meal. Homelessness is a daily struggle for thousands in the UK and it’s not just for winter or Christmas, so please give what you can and do it with love. 💜
As the Tory government sits back on its morals & self serving policies 2 grab every damn penny from the poor, disabled, those on low income, children’s education, our NHS, pensions, they need 2 remember it gets bloody cold up there on the moral high ground & their time is up 🌹❤️
