Donating To The Homeless Charity, Pass-it-On
November 12th, 2024
The Brewers Foundation were delighted
to donate £250 to Pass-it-On, a charity dedicated to support homeless and
vulnerable people within the UK, in twelve major UK cities per year.
Pass-it-On began over 6 years ago and
became a registered charity in October 2020. Their Board of Trustees, Steering
Group, Volunteers and Community Helpers are all united by a common goal to help
those less fortunate than ourselves.
In January, they aim to support in the
region of 1000 people with local support groups. The cities currently targeted
are – Manchester, Birmingham, Worcester, Liverpool, Oxford, Leicester,
Coventry, London, Slough, Brighton, Wolverhampton and Newcastle. Their prime
winter campaign takes place during January with a further two during the autumn
and summer.
Pass-it-On provide new and pre-loved
warm clothing, waterproof back packs, new sleeping bags, hygiene products,
sanitary items, new thermal underwear, socks, self-heating hand warmers,
gloves, hats, toothbrushes and toothpaste, baby wipes, water, protein snacks,
jelly sweets and hot drinks.
All items are hand delivered to every
individual at central locations as their volunteers walk the streets delivering
the packs. Friendly conversation and a warm smile are often appreciated by
those who are supported too.
