At our last pop-up event, we provided 100 visitors with clothing items, and we anticipate that at least as many will be requiring gloves, socks and hats this winter. To cope with demand, we need to raise at least another £829. 🧤🧦🧣

In response to the needs voiced by our visitors, we are putting together packs of essential winter items, containing thermal gloves, hats and socks, which they will be able to collect from an outdoor collection point in early February.

We’re nearly halfway to our goal! Please consider retweeting and donating if you can, so that we can cover travel costs for our visitors who cannot afford the fares 💞
📣 We need your help! 📣 When we ran our first event last month, the overwhelming feedback we received from our visitors was that the biggest barrier they faced in accessing our services was travel costs. //THREAD//

Given that most are deprived of the right to work and are expected to live on just over £5 per day, this was not surprising. For our next event, we want to eradicate this barrier by paying for travel to and from our events for those who need it.

Instead of endless consumerism this Black Friday, please consider donating if you are able and share with friends and family. 100% of the total raised will go directly towards enabling people with precarious status to access brand new clothing. Link in bio 💞
