£5 Survival Bags
Now that the winter months have arrived and the nights become colder, our homeless friends will continue to live on the streets until we can help them to their forever homes.
At times through this winter, you will probably walk/past/cycle one of our homeless friends, and they will likely need a friendly hand at some point! If you want to help but don’t know how, here is a quick way you can help this winter, for under £5!
You can create a Survival Kit, to keep in your handbag, backpack, car or your desk at work! All you need is a zip-lock freezer bag and some of the below items…

Hello, this blog was based upon the experience we have working with the homeless. We would like to think we know quite well what they may need and thought that making a blog post about this might help people who may want to give to the homeless but would prefer not to give them any money. Thankyou for your comment, Jess x
