Belmayne is teaming up with homelessness charity, Pathways of Chesterfield, to provide practical assistance to those who sleep on the streets.
We are collecting clothing, food and toiletries at our Chesterfield Road office for Pathways. If you live in or around Dronfield and would like to contribute, please let us have your donations by Friday December 10.
The full list of items the charity requires includes:
- Sleeping bags and small tents
- Rucksacks
- Small and medium-sized warm clothing for men and women, such as jeans, joggers, t-shirts, jumpers, hoodies and coats
- New underwear for men and women
- Food that can be prepared with water, such as Cup-a-Soup and Pot Noodles
- Bottled water
- Toiletries – shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and shower gel
Belmayne partner, Jon Stevens, is leading the initiative. He said: “A winter on the streets of North Derbyshire cannot be a welcome prospect for anyone. Pathways is somewhere the homeless and those at risk of homelessness can go for help and we want to ensure there are supplies available for all who need them. Anyone who would like to donate to this appeal is welcome to drop off items at our premises during office hours and we will ensure they reach the charity.”
A volunteer handler is also available to accept donations at one of Pathways’ buildings, 106 Saltergate, Chesterfield, on Wednesdays between 10am and 12 noon. For more information, telephone (01246) 498204 or visit www.pathwaysofchesterfield.co.uk
