Story
Zoe and I are taking part in the Glasgow Santa Dash for Simon Community Scotland.
Simon Community Scotland exist to help people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
Right now, the charity are seeing a greater demand for their support than ever before. More people are choosing between heating & eating. More people are at risk of losing their homes.
More people need help with basic essentials.
As a result Simon Community Scotland are looking to create Crisis Packs for people accessing their support this winter.
The charity will tailor our packs to suit individual needs, but the packs could include;
- £5 worth of toiletries such as shower gel and deodorant
- £10 worth of food vouchers for those who dont have access to cooking facilities, ensuring people can enjoy a hot meal
- £15 scarf, hat and glove set
- £20 jacket to keep them warm this Winter
- £50 worth of gas and electricity top ups
Please help me raise as much money as possible (at least enough for one pack) to help support people in need this winter.
I know times are tough, thank you so much for your support.
Best wishes
Murray
