As the chill of winter begins to settle over our community, many of our most vulnerable neighbours are bracing for long, cold nights without the basic comfort and warmth we often take for granted. For those experiencing homelessness, especially those rough sleeping, the need for warm, practical clothing is not only a luxury, but a lifeline.
This week, we’re encouraging our readers to step forward with an act of kindness that can make an immediate difference in someone’s life. Chances House, a local organisation dedicated to supporting those facing homelessness, is urgently seeking donations of specific clothing and bedding to distribute to people in need.
If you have gently used or surplus items, your contribution could provide warmth, comfort, and hope to someone struggling through the winter months.
Chances House is asking for donations of warm coats, raincoats, socks, leggings, sweatpants, hoodies, jumpers, men’s t-shirts (small, medium, or large), sleeping bags, and warm blankets. These items will be given directly to people who are sleeping rough, offering them a sense of relief in a time of extreme need.
By giving, you’re not just offering a physical item – you’re offering dignity, warmth, and the reminder that our community cares. In times of hardship, knowing someone is thinking of you can provide more comfort than the warmest coat.
Please drop off your donations at Chances House, located at 2 Endeavour Street. Due to limited storage, they are only accepting the requested items.
What items can you spare to bring comfort to someone in need?
