We have been lucky enough to receive the proceeds from numerous fundraising events within the city, some by regular supporters, and some who are brand new.
There have been carol concerts, high profile performances, appearances on 'Celebrity Who wants to be a Millionaire', along with various other musical events.
The donations have been extremely varied, from 3 big bags of knitted hats to thousands of pounds raised and donated.
We have had food donated for Christmas day, and beyond, toiletries, toys for our family centre and lots and lots of hats, scarves and gloves.

Fundraiser Ruth has been kept extremely busy sending out thank you letters and certificates to show our appreciation for everything we have had.
It is worth also mentioning that we also received some anonymous donations, for which we are unable to send personal a personal thank you, so to all those who may have given without providing your details, THANK YOU!!
Along with all the physical gifts that people have given, we have been inundated with volunteers, offering their time, whether it be to work with people directly, or to fundraise by shaking buckets or organising events.
We are also thrilled that people have thought of us when sorting through their wardrobes this winter time, the number of clothes that have been given is simply over whelming!
Winter supplies that have been donated, for some people it may be the thought of a warm breakfast that we can provide them with that will help them through a cold winter's night on the streets (left).
Volunteers Jim and Tina have been very busy sorting through the many clothes and blankets that we have been donated (below).
Through an initiative at the Town Hall we received a huge number of gorgeous coats that have been very much welcomed by those who use our services. They are something that will not only keep people warm throughout winter, but are a treat as something new.

| WOW!! |
As an organisation, trustees, staff, volunteers and those who use our services are completely overwhelmed with the generosity of all that have kept us in their thoughts and spent their time, money and efforts providing for us this winter.
THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!!
