A Bag Of Hope

01/07/2022

Yesterday we gave back a £1300 donation to our partner charity the Buchan Giving Tree!!

£800 of this was 60% of our overall profit and the further £500 was what staff decided to donate from their share return!!

We are so grateful for all the support they have given us throughout our journey! They are a massive help to our local community. We hope this donation will help them further their work in our area and continue to help those who need it the most!

Thank you so much for everything, we couldn’t have done any of this without your support🧡

Rough sleeping rates have increased by 165% since 2010.

This shows that the homeless issue has increased over the years and those in need require more help through difficult circumstances.

This is a massive part of our cause and we are so grateful for everyone’s support in helping us continue to raise awareness🧡

Talk show host Steve Harvey lived in his car for three years before making his big break

This is a massive encouragement to those going through difficult circumstances as it shows that there is always the possibility of a positive outcome. This also encouraged our team to strive to give those in need a bit of hope through our Bags of Hope

In Scotland there were 30,325 adults homeless and 11,804 children.

Homeless people are over nine times more likely to take their own life than the general population.

After realising this, we decided to put inspirational quote cards as well as phone numbers of organisations which help those in need in every bag. By doing this we hope to encourage those in need to keep going even through difficult circumstances.

Our Team Journey So Far🧡

Our Team Journey So Far….

In 2020 13,813 people were assessed as homeless which increased to 14,161 in 2021.

This encouraged us to create bags of necessities for those in need in the hopes of helping them through tough times in anyway that we could. We also aimed to raise awareness for this issue in our local area.
