Wednesday Outreach

Oh what a night ..
Sadly no clothes or bedding , however , there was amazing food, great music and prizes, a wonderful atmosphere and a lotta love..
A lot of new people out there again.
I did notice , sadly , how utterly filthy their clothes were , which was quite upsetting..ive spoken to Becky at Street Angels and even she has said …we are just not getting enough clothing ..
After a talk with a few of them as to why this is happening, many have said that they Try to avoid the services provided …many of the services that are donated clothing, are infact putting the items into their shops that pay for their buildings, hence leaving them without …if someone has nothing then they can’t afford cheap , they can’t afford nothing …its all so very badly managed and pointless for those that really do need these items.
Some of them avoid the services because of bullying and restrictions which is very distressing…
All of the donations of toiletries this week actually were a god send , deodorant and wipes particularly, as if they can’t get a wash at the services , they can use a few wipes and deodorant…and a little teeth cleaning capsule from lush will give a bit of oral hygiene..
There are no sleeping bags or duvets available, nor blankets or throws , they are limited across the groups …so we urge you not to throw out any of these items but do pm us and donate them..
The team on Wednesday were darlings ..each and every one bringing something to the table …literally…picking up on the way and serving it all fresh , the cooks were amazing as was the food .
A small but effective team always bringing joy to those less fortunate…
Please remember to donate direct , it’s the most effective way of getting your items to the actual people that need them…
Huge thankyou to all that made Wednesday happen
To The Bearded Sailor and The Cookie Dough ..much love and thanks ..
Also to Greggs and Pret A Mange …gratitude goes there to as always ..
Asda just smash it for picky bits and sift beverages and Bookers with amazing cakes ..KFC and Bandos on board ..makes for a double treat along side all the wonderful home cooked food …
A perfect night all round on all aspects of service provided…minus clothing and bedding obviously..lol..
Please keep donating and a huge thankyou for all your continued support 🙏
