Please support homeless people this winter

Rucksack Stomp Winter Appeal 2023

As the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, our thoughts go out to those who face spending their nights, and days, out on the streets. Our Rucksack Stomps are continuing apace, thanks to a group of formerly homeless companions who volunteer in Bedford, Northampton and Wellingborough town centres every week, offering a lifeline to those sleeping rough.

We are now calling on local people to help our Rucksack Stomp by buying vital winter supplies on our Amazon Wishlist, dropping off items such as sleeping bags and warm clothing to distribute to rough sleepers, or donating to our Online Appeal.
