Bradford

Report from Barney in Bradford:

We’re pleased to continue working with the Christadelphian Outreach Group and to support 
The Orchard Day Shelter in Bradford again this year.  On 4 November, we delivered 20 rucksacks for homeless people to the Day Shelter as part of the 2018 Bags of Love appeal.  

We placed a copy of Luke’s gospel inside each one and gave bags of underwear, hats, gloves, wet wipes, sanitary items, toothbrushes, torches, etc. alongside the rucksacks.
Simon and Foday at the Day Shelter were very pleased with the rucksacks.  Simon gave us an update on the work of the shelter.  Their Street Outreach Team, which goes out 3 times each week, will use the things we have donated to make up packs for people in immediate need according to the needs of each individual.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to the Bags of Love appeal again this year.
