Members of Southend United Community & Educational Trust’s Prince’s Trust Team programme are calling on the public to help raise money for and donate to Southend-on-Sea’s One Love Soup Kitchen, a local homeless charity.
The Prince’s Trust Team members wish to make Christmas bags for the homeless who attend the One Love Soup Kitchen and decorate the charity’s facilities with the money raised.
The young people will be going on a sponsored walk from Southend Pier to Hadleigh Castle on Wednesday 22nd October, whereby they’ll be carrying buckets for people to donate money to, before running a cake sale on Thursday 23rd October at Southend United Market at Roots Hall.
Below are the main items needed:
Sleeping bags
Tents
Rucksacks
Clean clothes
