what a fantastic time we had on our volunteer zoom call this morning! so lovely to see so many faces that we're missing so much! take care everyone 🙂
so excited to see that the first of our care packages are arriving to our wonderful volunteers! we are missing them so much! 🧡
We donated £400 towards One Love Soup Kitchen 's care packages for rough sleepers and sex workers in Southend. Lots of rough sleepers have been staying in B&Bs during the COVID-19 lockdown but are struggling with a lack of human interaction and boredom. The care packages are full of puzzles, books, activities and radios to keep them busy as they wait out this quarantine, as we all are. The care packages for the sex workers contains health and beauty items, as well as sweets and chocolate.
Both of these groups are particularly vulnerable at this time and we are so pleased to be able to support One Love in their work. Thank you to all of our volunteers and customers who have made this possible.
it was great to catch up with some of our volunteers via video call this morning!
are you a current volunteer in one of our shops? we're organising volunteer video catch-ups to help us stay connected during this time of social distancing.
