We did it....

We did it, we're amazing, we are Portsmouth!

Saturday saw the Rucksack project event for this year, organised by Joanne Tindle, a massive success!  We all know all about it now, if not have a flick back through some older blog posts of mine and check out www.rucksackproject.org, and it's amazing so many people took part!

Mum popped down on the day to help out (we were in Brighton for the day), met some amazing people and saw first hand the sheer volume of kindness in Portsmouth.

My mum, Tracey!

They think now after various tally's that 1500 rucksacks were donated plus bags and bags of extras. Wow. Just wow.  Who'dve thunk it?  We managed 8 rucksacks plus extras thanks to the generousity of friends, family and colleagues donating items.

Here are a few articles etc on the day...

Well done Portsmouth, you are an amazing city, with amazing people. Much love to you all.  I'm so pleased everyone has well and truly grasped, ''its nice to be nice'.  No we haven't solved a crisis, but we have helped in a small way to make some people's lives a little easier.

Same time next year yeah?
