Hello folks, I am putting together a care package to be donated to St Petrocks (http://www.stpetrocks.org.uk) who support the homeless in Exeter, and wondered if any of you might be able to help?
I have no connection to the charity but, as I’m sure we can all imagine, winter is a horrible time to be out without a warm home to go to!
A nice idea is if you don’t know what to get someone for christmas or don’t want to waste money on some useless tat they’l only use once, why not put the money towards a few of the items on their wanted list and i’l send you an ecard with a photograph of the donated items which you can give instead and let people know they have made a difference to someone in need.
They have a most wanted list of items which is:
-Sleeping bags
-thermos flasks
-rucksacks
-mens jeans (ideally smaller waist sizes)
-mens socks/underwear
-waterproof jackets and trousers
-t-shirts and fleeces
-mens sturdy shoes/boots
I currently have a number of sleeping/bivi bags, thermos flasks and will shortly have some waterproofs, it would be amazing to make this donation as big as possible!
If you have any of the listed items and would like to donate them please message me and I can either collect them in the exeter area or if you have a few bits I will arrange free postage if you can package them up.
No money donations for obvious reasons although they can be made through their website http://www.stpetrocks.org.uk
I know this isn’t a lot of folks cup of tea so please, if you have something negative or trolling to say….don’t.
Cheers all, Jon
