Hot food, we served sausage casserole and rice, thank you to Lesley Tye for the casserole!always appreciated is the bread we get given from Davidson’s bakery of Darras Hall and the amazing work from Gillian each week for sandwiches, plus Julie’s beautiful chocolate crispies, all served with tea,coffee,hot chocolate or juice along with biscuits,cakes and all end of day goodies donated from Pret A Manger, fab work by all! Karen and Keith were a big miss! Hope to see you all next week peeps xxxx

Hi everyone, just had a lovely surprise from Mick Bunn and Tracey Howe they rocked up to mine tonight to pass on Handwarmers plus emergency rescue Blankets for our street friends, Yet again a massive thank you to the Gunnars Mcc for your continued support Helping Others Together are truly blessed to have your support, thank you so much xx

This ring was found in the doorway by a street friend while we were round on Nelson Street facing End clothing, I think a lot of people who work in the restaurants in Eldon Square use it for having a cigarette. It is silver & has an inscription inside, it would be lovely to get it back to it's owner so plz share & if the person can tell us what's on the inside of the ring we would be happy to return it 😊

Great night as usual feeding our street friends in town! We get such a lovely mix of people who are all so grateful for a hot meal & a conversation! Really hope they can get some shelter tonight, it’s such a cold night 😔 thanks to everyone who volunteers & gives up there time!

Tonight was great as usual fed a lot of people who are always grateful to see us as we are them, unfortunately we had to take care of a young girl who was talked down from the bridge because she felt she was to tired for life & that was her only option, nowhere to live & two lovely members of the public brought her to us because 3 homeless charities said they couldn’t help her! This makes me so angry & upset, although I’m pleased to say we got her to a safe place (the police) & hope she really gets the help she needs 💔

Had a run up to Berwick today , meet a lovely guy Craig who passed over to Helping Others Together 90 sleeping bags
