Rough Sleepers Feel Warm for Winter

Hiya my name is Katy, I am a volunteer at The FREE woman’s community over in Durham

We hold sessions every Tuesday and Friday, we run an open group for women who have suffered from any kind of abuse or just need a safe space and support.. it’s a place to connect with other ladies who have lived experience, the group is ran by an amazing lady called Marie Warby who herself is in recovery ❤️‍

A few weeks ago myself and another volunteer walked around Durham, we handed out food and hygiene packs which was very bitter sweet due to the amount of people needing help.. we came together and we discussed possibilities on how we could help as the winter months are fast approaching ❄️

We came up with the idea to do a sponsored Rough Sleeper Night!

With donations we are hoping to buy tents, hats, scarfs, cosy socks and anything else that we can hand out to help any rough sleeper in the colder months to come. We will also be putting some money aside to help with support to any of the woman who come through our doors that might need the basics I.e. soap, towels, deodorant.. if we can help with a safe space and also donate something for a woman’s basic needs this could potential make a massive difference to their lives ❤️

Any donation big or small is appreciated from the bottom of our hearts! You can see what we do via our Facebook page, I will leave the link below
