Crypt Currency
Excuse the pun, we couldn’t resist. This article has nothing to do with cryptocurrency however, it’s a more serious article promoting a charity for homeless people. We purchased quite a few pillows recently with the intentions of using them in our displays. Plans changed however and rather than clutter our store rooms we decided to give them to a good home and take the opportunity to give them a little plug.
St. George’s Crypt Leeds
St Georges Crypt are a charity offering support for homeless and vulnerable people in Leeds. They offer a lunch service to anyone who comes to the door, 3 meals a day 7 days a week including showers, tea and coffee, advice and support; the sense of community. They depend on donations of furniture and other goods to keep their charitable work going.
Donations
Don’t throw unwanted furniture away, by donating it to St George’s Crypt you’re not only do your bit for our environment, but you’re also making sure it goes to a new home, while also doing something to help others.
Free Collection Service
St George’s Crypt offers a free collection service for you to donate furniture (subject to condition) but they are unable to collect clothes, bric-a-brac and small donations. They also provide a free partial house clearance service.
Homelessness
Homelessness can happen to anyone. And it is frightening to think that the majority of the country are just 3 pay checks away. If you lose your job then it will take 3 months before you can meet your mortgage payments, with credit piling up on your car and the TV. You really find out who your friends are when you have to go, cap in hand, for somewhere to stay.
