Wow! What a blast from the past 🤯🤯

Sorting through a cupboard in the HOPE Charity Shop and found our old A-Frame from the first lock down re-opening.

We adhered to all the rules and kept our customers as safe as possible 💜💙

When all else failed and, let's face it, lots did......we always had HOPE 💜💙

It's a beautiful day 😍 the sun is shining ☀ the sky is blue 💙 and more and more people are becoming homeless 💔

So, maybe not a great day. We have supported more homeless since January of this year than the same period of time in any of our previous 9 years.

Today, we met 2 new homeless, brought in by 2 of our Street Friends for help.

We were able to give out underwear, bras, toiletries, clean clothes and warm clothes for tonight and of course, sleeping bags.
Lip balm and bottled water are precious commodities to them in this weather.

Spare a thought for our Street Friends - not everyone gets to be as lucky as us, cool showers, comfy bed and fresh cold water.

Enjoy the sunshine everyone.

When all else fails, they always have HOPE 💜💙

Keep your eyes open folks - very fake £20 notes are going round Chester-le-Street - if you know what you're looking for 😉great stuff.

If not, they feel immediately wrong. Very thick, very poor quality paper with no hologram in the window.

'Customer' trying to pass them off as genuine, with a 50p purchase. Always the same, trying to get as much back on each note as they can.

Be warned 🤬🤬

A HUGE HOPE thank you to our lovely friend Simone Hodgson and her work colleagues at END Clothing. The accident slowed me up from collecting, but once again you've done us proud and your donations will help us to support our local homeless community 💜💙
