This led us onto YouTube and we found a few videos of good Samaritans who made up backpacks full of goodies for the people sleeping out on the street and from this 'Pack To Your Feet' was born and we need your help to make a real difference to the local community.
We understand that we are not sorting out the root problems of why these people have no place to stay or what tomorrow will bring them but what we can do is make things a little bit better for them by providing some essentials within a back pack for them to keep and use.
Some examples of what will be included within the packs are as follows:
- Warm Jumper
- Gloves
- Hand sanitiser
- Hi Energy food
- Toilet roll
- Dried fruit
- Gift card (Gregs etc.)
- Pen
- Paper
- Stamps
- Phone card
- Wet Wipes
- Toothbrush/Paste
- First Aid Kit
These are just some example of what would be extremely useful for somebody who is finding themselves out on the street and could be the first step into making contact with a friend or family member and even if one person gets back on their feet then this project will be a huge success.
Most of these items can be purchased from pound stores and back packs can be sourced from charity shops so any donations you make will make a big difference.
