Please do share this on your Facebook pages and of course donate what you can. All donations are used 100% for Burton Hope operations. We have to pay the rents on our food/clothes banks, pay for ID for homeless people, insurance and many other expenses. Because we are all unpaid volunteers all cash donations go to the cause. Thank you all so much for your ongoing support. Our charity application is still pending and all of us at HOPE cannot wait for it to come through.
There are many kind organisations having collections for us to keep our food and clothes banks going.

A very productive day.
A team from Molson Coors came down to HOPE House, our food and clothes bank in Anglesey Rd. The team worked hard sorting out donations ready to go out on the street this weekend. Our storage volunteers, Caz and Gale oversaw the operation in their Christmas jumpers!
John was presented with a cheque for £2500 from Molson Coors by Trevor John. After dinner at Carling Park, they all went on outreach around Burton.
Later in the day, 9 year old Abi-Rose brought food and clothes from a collection drive she had set up herself. She was given a tour of honour around our sorting container, food bank, clothes bank and toiletries bank.
Many thanks to Molson Coors employees, Sian, Olivia, Joe, Sam,Kasia, Mark, Momina, Lucinda, Rebecca, Simone, Kate and of course, Trevor.
Also to Abi-Rose.
Also to our Caz and Gale who work hard behind the scenes every week.
A good week !
The Lithuanian passport arrived very quickly. It was handed over. The gentleman's face lit up, it dropped as he looked through all the blank pages from the back. He then got to the plastic page with his picture and details on and he broke down and cried, then danced! ID can change a life. Without it you are anonymous, cannot get work, cannot get housed. cannot and officially do not exist. We have given out three birth certificates this week too. We got one in the record time of two days.
We have been called out five times in the last week by members of the public, concerned when seeing somebody outside because it is very cold now. One person was living under a hedge in a rural location. He is now in temporary accommodation in his home town.
Angie and John held an awareness presentation at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Stapenhill this evening. This was followed by the wrapping of some gifts for our homeless that were donated by the church.
Some of the audience told our two of charitable work they had done so it was a very interactive evening.
