Winter can be harsh, particularly for those living on the streets and so Soul Hub is collecting some ‘Winter Warmers’. For someone living rough the gift of a warm jacket can make a powerful difference not only to their comfort but to their mental wellness. And a warm chunky soup really fills the belly and lifts the spirits on a cold, wet winters day.
You can help make a significant difference this winter by donating funds or some of the goods listed below to help Soul Hub Newcastle assist the vulnerable and those sleeping rough on the streets.
