Please share this post to help us reach as many people as possible 🙂

As we head through the summer months, donations often begin to slow down as people go on holiday and routines change. Unfortunately, the need for support doesn't stop, and we have run out of some essential items.

If you're able to donate any of the following, it would make a huge difference to the people we support:

🥣 Cereal
☕ Coffee
🍬 Sugar
🥤 Squash
☕ Hot chocolate
🍜 Pot Noodles
🥔 Crisps
🍫 Chocolate
💧 Bottled water

If you can spare an item or two during your next shop, we'd be incredibly grateful.

Donations can be dropped off at:

The Bridge Homelessness to Hope
43 Melton Street
Leicester
LE1 3NB

Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps us provide food, refreshments and practical support to people experiencing homelessness and hardship across our community.

Thank you for your kindness and continued support – together, we can make a real difference 💙

Huge thank you to the 109th Leicester St Andrews Scout Group for their donation of blankets to The Bridge Homelessness to Hope ☺️

In celebration of Volunteers’ Week 2026, we treated our incredible volunteers from The Bridge to an evening of bowling at Lane7 as a thank you for their dedication, hard work, and support throughout the past year.

Our volunteers are at the heart of The Bridge. Whether it's offering a listening ear, serving meals, supporting activities, or simply helping someone feel valued and respected, their contribution makes a meaningful difference every day to the people we support.

This evening was a small token of our appreciation for the positive impact they have on the lives of others and for the vital role they play.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for your continued dedication ☺️

It also highlights some of the struggles we are facing as a charity, and our hopes for The Bridge and those we support as we move forward.

Most importantly however, it gives us the opportunity to say a massive thank you for all your support!
