Good morning followers ☺️

As some of you may remember, christmas eve and new years eve we we're out in town with CHEYS the outreach bus providing support for our homeless and just spreading a bit of joy for all that passed us.

Well we caught someone's eye and had a nice length chat on what we do and how we help, which then led to Gareth giving the guys business partner a video call tour of the bus 😅.

As well as making a donation on the evening via our QR code, their company SHL GROUP SERVICES based in Colchester have now set up a £500 per month sponsorship for a whole year.

Being a small community interest company, this is will make a huge difference and certainly ease a little pressure for us. If you get a chance, please pop over to their page and give them a like as a way of thanking them for us.

To find out how you can support us, please drop us a message.

Good morning followers 🤞

It is with a heavy heart and a lot of hope that I’m writing this but The Bus Shelter Ipswich needs your help for it to survive.

We are calling on the general public and local businesses to help us with some financial help.

We are often inundated with donations of clothing, toys, brica brac and media which is amazing but is also a slow return from getting the items, selling the items and then depositing the money into the bank.

Truth is, for us to survive as an organisation, we need financial donations.

There is so much we can do with the little resources we have but we need help doing this.

Answer me this,

• How many organisations can turn up in a high street and offer their homeless shower and toilet facilities for free? We can

• What other organisation can turn up in a high street and offer emergency accommodation in any weather? We can

• What other organisation take those in need on their circumstances and without prejudice or judgement, regardless of where they've come from? We can

• What other organisation let those in need, into our shop and get a complete change of clothes free of charge ? We do

• What other organisations offer a non referral food bank ? We do

These are just some of the services The Bus Shelter Ipswich CIC offers and with your help, we could offer a lot more.

We directly help those that are in need, regardless of their situation or background, can you help help us?

Are you in a position to make a one off donation?

Can you spare £5 - £10 per month as a regular donation?

Could you organise a fundraiser at work?

Could you help us arrange events or fundraiser?

Can you please share this with all your friends and family and get them to share as well

This could be the last year The Bus Shelter Ipswich is in existence if we can not increase the level of funds coming in.

Good morning followers 🙂

We would like to give a big thank you to Teresa for once again supporting as through the asda foundation with a massive £1000 !!

As most people know, this is a particular stressful and sometimes overwhelming time of year with the added pressure of christmas and increased heating bills and as a small not for profit organisation, we too feel this pressure as we try to support those in this situation.

We are truly grateful for this continued support 🙏
