Many thanks to all who participated in the Rucksack Project in Poole and surrounding area for the incredible number donated to us in December.
The Rucksack Project is not a charitable organisation, but a worldwide movement born out of a simple idea to help those sleeping rough on the streets during the freezing winter months.
Anyone can help because the project is not about one person trying to do a lot, but about many each just doing a little to make a big difference in the world. The idea is an incredibly simple one: Go to charity shops, get a rucksack, sleeping bag, flask (fill with hot soup), spoon, gloves, hat, fleece, undies, socks and extra food, take it out and give it to a homeless person – or organisation helping the homeless. http://rucksackproject.org/
In March 2014 the pupils of St Mary’s Primary School Swanage were inspired by the Rucksack Project to deliver a pile of donations for our clients.
