Thank you to all the ladies who attended, and helped with the Wreath making morning on Monday 6th. It was a lovely friendly occasion and raised £225 for Serving the Homeless.

This year, despite not being able to run our normal fundraising events, with your generous help and support we have:

Given £6,500 to HARP for food and general support. HARP now houses over 200 clients and provides almost 6,000 hot meals a year as well as helping clients overcome trauma, learn skills and find work.
Provided an additional £350 worth of turkeys for Christmas dinners at HARP properties.
Given £6,500 to Southend YMCA towards their new housing project which will be giving support to very young vulnerable youngsters in a family style environment.
Provided 42 Christmas bags of ‘goodies’ to the young people who live at, and are looked after by, Southend YMCA.
Given £500 to support the work of the St. Vincent Centre in Southend.

In all, with your help, we have spent approximately £14,000 this year on programmes to support the homeless.
