MAY I through your column say a huge thank you to all the schools, churches, organisations and individuals who remembered the young homeless at Streetlife this Christmas.
The night shelter has been full almost every night over the Christmas and New Year period, while the Base drop-in centre logged 180 visits by homeless young people in just 14 days.
Thank you for the huge sacks of presents, the hat and glove sets, the countless offers of fresh turkey on Christmas Day, the cakes, mince pies and chocolates, the lovely decorations in the night shelter and the generous donations of money. The list is endless.
It is an exciting time at Streetlife at present with the imminent opening of our extended information and advice centre. If anyone is interested in learning more about our organisation, or ways in which they could get involved, then please contact me at the address below. Thank you once again.
Joanne Dillon, Streetlife,155 Church St, Blackpool.
