Only A Pavement Away Winter Warnth Campaign

DATES TO BE CONFIRMED.

GET INVOLVED.

The Only A Pavement Away Winter Warmth campaign aims to raise awareness of the plight of those forced to live on the streets across the UK.

The Winter Warmth campaign collects and distributes items including coats and blankets as well as essential toiletries to homeless hostels and shelters during November - February, to support the many people facing or experiencing homelessness across the UK.

Hospitality operators, our partners and supporters are invited to collect items from friends, family, colleagues and customers to be distributed via a centrally pre-organised drop-off point in one of the campaign launch locations during November or distributed locally to shelters and hostels in the area of the operator, partner or supporter offices/venues.

If you would be interested in taking part in the Winter Warmth Campaign please email Gregmangham@onlyapavementaway.co.uk to discuss either volunteering for one of the key city drop-offs during November or organising one of your own collections/drop offs locally.

Being part of the winter warmth campaign has been an honour and a privilege ! We have handed flasks and food pouches out to soup kitchens, homeless hostels and veterans charities and the response has been very positive. The meals which are ambient are great for those most in need full of calories and vitamins, we distributed these meals to hostels soup kitchen a Xmas stocking appeal for the local council and we use them for our foodbank and it would be great to have more of these I fear a long hard winter is on its way. We also gave 50 the local city council too so they can really help those in most need We are but a small cog in a big wheel of kindness we are like the quarter master directing help where it is needed working with the local authorities the local charity’s and helping many people – So that’s a great big thank you from Norwich and Yarmouth to the Only A Pavement Away team!

I just wanted to send a big thank you from the residents of YMCANL for the puffer jackets. We handed them out today and they all went within 30 minutes. Please feel free to send us some more if you have any. It was the perfect thing now that the weather has suddenly turned cold.
