So what happens when your friend sends you a text asking if she's crazy and do you fancy it? Then rings to tell you she has sourced a bus? Was it ever in doubt??? Nope!!
Not sure how many of you read the post about the plea for a bus to convert into a shelter for the homeless... Well the pleas are about to get a little bigger! Any help and support we'd be most grateful for, but for the time being please get liking and sharing!
Joanne is a force to be reckoned with, I have helped her organise the Rucksack Event for the last few years and I'm now pleased to say I'm 'on board' with this too!
So after the huge success of the Rucksack Event in the last few years and the generosity and community spirit from the people of Portsmouth, the plans have been upgraded a little!
The concept is simple -
- Get a bus
- Park it up, safely and accessibly
- Get it refitted
- Donate to a local charity
The aim -
- Creating a homeless shelter for Portsmouth, providing more and much needed bed space.
The bus itself will be converted, upstairs to have sleeping pods, downstairs a seating area, small kitchen, toilet, shower and wood burner.
So far down the list we are at....
Bus sourced from a local bus company (told you Jo was amazing!), we now need to find a space to park the bus, the materials and man power to refit the bus, and finally to donate the bus to a local charity.
