Staff from Barnsley FC Community Trust will be on-hand outside the OZone on Saturday between 12pm and 3pm to receive donations as we once again support The Rucksack Project Barnsley.
This is a voluntary movement that revolves around a simple, but compassionate task to help those that are sleeping rough, or in desperate need, through the cold winter months.
It was reported that over 270,000 people are homeless or living in temporary accommodation at the beginning of 2023, in England alone. The Rucksack Project Barnsley are asking for help in the form of the following donations:
- Rucksacks
- Sleeping Bags (No quilts or duvets)
- Camping Mats
- Warm and Waterproof coats, jumpers and hoodies
- Joggers and Waterproof trousers (S, M, L)
- Hats, Gloves and Hand Warmers
- New underwear, socks and toiletries (S, M, L)
Food and Drink Items
- Individual cartons of orange juice, instant coffee, long-life milk and sugar
- Chocolate bars, cereal bars and biscuits
- Packs of rice, pasta and pasta sauce (as well as pot pasta or pot noodles etc)
- Tinned vegetables, tinned meat and fish
Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
