Story

I started making face masks for family, friends and work colleagues and people kept asking if they could pay for them so I thought if people wanted they could donate what they would pay for the mask to charity. Simon Community Scotland offer an amazing service all year round to people who find themselves homeless. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the charity with A huge challenge. For the people they support it could be devastating: having nowhere to self isolate, already being in poor health and having desperate needs which means they may put themselves, and others, at greater risk of cross infection. The people they support have experienced the homelessness services landscape they rely upon to get through each day shrink dramatically. The places they go, the crucial support they rely upon has largely disappeared and they are scared of the current reality they are faced with.

Donations will help with Kettle Food Parcels,Pyjamas and Underwear, Toiletries, 3G Text and Call Burner Phones, Food and clothing.
