Helping Our Homeless

There's a new collection tin on the counter of the Cinema Bookshop, for a charity called Helping Our Homeless.
The group of friends, based in Mid-Wales, who set the charity up are focussing their attention on the homeless of Wales. In 2015/16, there were about 240 rough sleepers in Wales, with the numbers going up to 313 the following year. When I last went down to Cardiff, I noticed more rough sleepers on the streets than I had before, with sleeping bags in doorways and so on. The problem certainly looks as if it's getting worse, not better.
The new charity doesn't think they can defeat the issue, but they can do something to help.
So they make up care bags, containing things like deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, razor, hats and gloves, food like cup-a-soup and biscuits, notebooks, a novel, puzzle book and pens and so on to give out to rough sleepers. They also accept donations of clothing and food.
They have a Facebook page at Helping Our Homeless Wales.
