2021 Spring Homeless Campaign

With lockdown easing, Hand on Heart are embracing for an increase in number of homelessness on our streets as emergency accommodation comes to an end.

Often the forgotten community during the pandemic, Hand on Heart in partnership with Beta Charitable Trust, are providing much needed essential supplies to rough sleepers in London and surrounding areas.

Each pack will include the following items: Polo Shirt, T-Shirts, Socks, Underwear, Deodorants, Wet Wipes, Shower gel, Comb, Oral Hygiene kit, Hand Sanitisers, Face Masks, Bottled Water packed in a quality Drawstring bag.

In addition, 500 waterproof jackets will be distributed to our Outreach drives, together with sleeping bags and blankets on request.

To coincide with the month of Ramadhan, HoH will mark the occasion by providing an Eid card in each pack with a message of goodwill and hope.
