The Rucksack Project Comes to Poole
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.
