Homeless packages
Jess123
Stroud Green
Dear all, in light of the recent concerns about the amount of homeless people in our area, both under the bridge, down the SG Road and around Finsbury Park, a group of us have started a little project called Carebox.
The link is here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/1WVXKT510Z2QV and the idea is that we will put together little care packages for those living on the streets, or those that are in such a dire situation that they are resorting to street begging. There are many people who want to give to those in need but have concerns about giving money directly. Others are concerned about giving to huge charities. This alleviates both issues by giving practical resources directly into the hands of our local homeless community.
We will personally take the time to talk to those on the streets and in the packs of toiletries and other essentials, will be a print out of the local services available to them.
I hope that some of you will support this cause

Just wanted local people to know about this too so thanks if you can support!
Miss Annie - Yes saw this. Another good idea although I agree, appears quite empty now.
