Help keep people warm

It's getting chilly out. We can't change that. There are people living on the street. That's not likely to change any time soon. For the majority, what they own is whatever they can carry.

So how about we make sure, to the best of our abilities, that what they can carry includes a hat, a scarf, and some gloves? Have you got a spare set? Can you knit? Did you just get a payrise?

My suggestion would be to get one of each (well, two for the gloves) and put them in a bag. Maybe put some other stuff in there - money, food, maybe a short note explaining why you've done it, and then carry it with you wherever you go.

When you next see someone who's sleeping rough, and you will, give them the bag. Then tell people what you've done. Encourage them to do the same. Feel good.
