Can this young man inspire anyone reading this to get on the bandwagon and start something like this round here?
We’ve got a warehouse in Blackpool and we’d be happy to take donated items – We’re also happy to give any complete backpacks to Streetlife or Blackpool & the Fylde Street Angels to distribute to those who need these items because they are living rough in Blackpool.
If you’d like to pledge something in the comments we will approach some local businesses around the fylde to become drop off points and we will facilitate collection and distribution of these backpacks. If it takes off in a big way we may need help paying for the fuel to collect all these items but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
