Charity Winter Streets Project is providing more survival packs for street dwellers in Salisbury after a fundraising drive by group collecting platform Collection Pot and third party enterprise support organisation Rimini Street Limited.
The project was set up in 2016 to help London’s homeless population, but expanded its survival pack distribution to Salisbury, and other cities.
In 2019, Winter Streets Project distributed 850 survival packs to towns and cities around the UK but faced an uncertain future in 2020 after the pandemic curtailed planned fundraising activities. Survival packs contain essential items like toiletries, food, thermal clothing, a foil blanket and stationery. Founder and Director of Winter Streets Project Lou Ballard said the fundraising has enabled the charity to continue with its work. The Collection Pot fundraiser was set up by Rimini Street Limited on behalf of Winter Streets Project, with a total of £3,062.03 raised for the charity and £236.55 in gift aid. Although initially set up as a way for companies to collect money for office-based occasions and events, charities are using Collection Pot to raise funds because there are no monthly fees and no gift aid processing fees.
Collection Pot has a new Charity Partner of the Month initiative this month, in which the group collecting platform chooses one charity each month to benefit from funding. Wendy Carter, founder of Collection Pot said they are keen to progress and develop their work with charities.
Winter Streets Project is fundraising through Collection Pot to raise money for to complete their 2021 kits for the homeless, and reach more towns and cities where people are in need. To donate to Winter Streets Project click here.
