Liverpool Students Help Those in Need at The Whitechapel Centre

Students across the city, from Liverpool Hope, Liverpool University and Liverpool John Moores University have all made donations to us here at the Whitechapel Centre.

Resident tutor at Hope's Creative Campus, Sara Devoreux-Ward, contacted us to advise that she had been collecting unwanted items from students, and to ask if they could be of any use to our client group.

When students move on from one residence to the next they often have a surplus amount of home wares that were no longer needed in their new homes. 

The Creative Campus is based next to our Enablement Centre which made us the first port of call when considering who might make use of what had been given.

Sara said, "I am determined to make students more aware of how lucky they are, and also to keep 'charity' local and support those close to my heart."

Kitchen wares and crockery filling our cupboards before they are passed on.

That is not where it stopped however, as part of the 'Leave Liverpool Tidy' campaign organised by the Students Union, we also recieved donations from both Liverpool John Moores University, and Liverpool University.



Donations from Leave Liverpool Tidy

The donations were made up of bedding, food, clothes, and many other household items, all of which the people that use our services are desperately in need of.

No sooner had the items been brought in they were then ear marked for various clients, and boxed up ready to go.
Here at The Whitechapel Centre we are extremely grateful for all of these donations as there are so many people that are in great need.

We would all like to say a massive THANK YOU to all those to donated and collected everything that was given - there are good homes ready and waiting for them.
