We constantly meet rough sleepers in the 8 local authorities that we work in: Maldon, Chelmsford, Braintree, Epping, Rochford, Brentwood, Castle Point and Uttlesford. As a result we have an urgent need for various specific items to make their lives a little easier whilst we also look for longer term solutions, offering emergency accommodation if possible in the first instance.

We currently need:

• Sleeping Bags
• Tents (small waterproof pop-up)
• Bottled Water
• Food: crisps, biscuits, snack foods

If you are able to help with any of the items listed above please contact us at 01245 281104, or drop them to the Shelter at 200 New London Road, Chelmsford, Essex CM2 9AB.
