'I've been working at Central Point homeless day service for over two years and this year will be my second rucksack project. Last year we were absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of rucksacks the service received, we had a whole minibus full!! All spare offices in our service were full nearly to the ceilings!
Lots of clients came to us for daily essentials and were surprised to find out about the Rucksack Project. Instead of just essentials, they were handed a rucksack with clothing, blankets, food, toiletries and thermals - they were absolutely over the moon.
Clients commented on how much it saves them during the winter months. Some of our clients are a little bit older and the cold weather can be a lot tougher on the bones.
All perishable food donations were used in the lead up to Christmas, with staff cooking amazing meals for our clients and all of the clients keeping together in the warm sat around hot food is just so amazing to see.
Community spirit really is high.'
See... You lovely people. You are making a difference!!! Go, be nice. It's nice to be nice 😊
TRFN, Sammy
