Winter Comfort for the homeless



Winter Comfort

 This year we shall be raising funds for our local charity Winter Comfort
Wintercomfort is a day centre offering essential welfare services and learning and development opportunities to homeless people in Cambridge. We provide showers, hot breakfasts and laundry facilities and, most importantly, a safe place for vulnerable people to spend their time. As the first point of contact for many homeless people we can help them to source the support they need: counselling, housing, mental health and much more. Our three social enterprises give people the opportunity to gain valuable training and work experience and our other activities range from literacy and numeracy classes to job skills workshops to art and sports. Our aim is to help people escape the spiral of homelessness, supporting them as they get their lives back on track.

We are very grateful for the support of local people and we are always glad to receive donations of 2nd hand clothes. At the moment we could really use new underwear, hats, shoes / trainers, sun cream and waterproof coats / jackets.

I hope this is ok, edit it at will! Fingers crossed for lovely weather - I'd love to see any photos of the event.
