After your very generous donation of £1500 towards my work with the homeless and underprivileged people, I decided to start a thread to document where the money is being spent as I spend it.
This thread will be updated regularly with the different things I do.
Many, many thanks to all who participated in the draws and also those who donated.
Special thanks must go to @Kuul Media for his generous donation of prizes free of charge.

So on Friday, I made up some sandwiches for distribution by the walking team, who interact with homeless people on the City Centre streets at night.

Then today I went out and bought some goodies for the liberty Soup run and the NoBucks Cafe to distribute to those less fortunate than ourselves.
We got some bargains, this little lot only cost €100.

This thread is not here to pat myself on the back, it is merely to keep you guys and girls up to date.

Many thanks again.

Great cause and glad to have been part of raffles you do amazing work along with forum and prize contributers.

Great work you and your colleagues to for the less fortunate mate.

To you and all others out there every day doing this great work and helping those in such need stay safe and well. God bless.
 
So we (TK). Bought some new 5l flasks for the soup run for when they go out on the streets feeding the homeless and giving out hot drinks.
They're kinda expensive £25 ish, so it was great to buy some backup flasks.

Fair play mate is it a local cash and carry you go to for munchies ect. Your all doing an amazing job all year round
 
Yeah well done @wheelo its the little things in life that make a massive difference to the less fortunate etc.
Saw a vid on youtube other day about a billionaire who dressed up as a homeless man to see how the public would react to him and most people just ignored he was even there.
One guy decided to stop and gave him some things out of his shopping bag before his long walk home.
The guy said to the man who stopped and said thank you so much and then he revealed who he really was and asked why he had a long walk home so he said to him he had not got a car because he had lost his job and was trying his best to support his family etc and could only spare a few things out of his shopping bag and then the guy wrote out a cheque for $10.000 and gave it him and said i wish there was more people in the world like you and it would be a better place to live in.
