Donating to and Decorating at the Streetlife Night Shelter

Written on 10 December 2018.

Streetlife

On a very dark and dank afternoon on Thursday 6th December our SVP group made our annual pilgrimage to visit the Streetlife homeless night shelter. During the visit we learnt a bit about what the charity does and were given a tour of the facilities, before spreading some Christmas joy. Streetlife is a homeless charity that deals with young people aged 16-25 to which our students were able to donate £174.95, on behalf of the Blackpool Family of Catholic Schools. This sum was raised as a result of their joint Advent service the previous Tuesday. Thank you to Tony and all those who volunteer at the shelter at this time of year.
