The Rucksack Project is looking for further support to bring some light back into the lives of Cardiff’s homeless community.
The Facebook-driven campaign, which already has over 270 attendees, involves volunteers donating a rucksack full of items – from necessities like food and clothes, to little luxuries – to help the homeless through the winter months.
Caitlin Cockcroft, 23, is heading the campaign in Cardiff, in association with The Wallich Centre. When the Save the Children employee saw the project on Facebook, she recalls, “I was so excited. It was the first time in ages I had seen something I really felt was worthwhile – something that would really make a difference.”
You can drop off your rucksack until Friday 6 December, between 9-5pm at The Wallich Centre on Cathedral Road.
