Here to Help
Recently, our KEY group, ACTNAMS (a group whose aim is to help the homeless), visited the People's Kitchen, a homeless shelter in Newcastle that provides food to anyone that can't afford it themselves. We had a look around and asked some questions about what it is like to volunteer at a homeless shelter. Before that, we went shopping and bought some supplies (like food, toiletries and clothes) to donate to the Kitchen. It was a great experience and we learned a lot about where they keep their supplies and what goes on behind the scenes at a homeless food kitchen.

Afterwards, we received a letter that told us about how grateful they were for our donation, which was something that really made our project worthwhile. They also told us that they would love more sleeping bags, either new or used. We enjoyed our trip to the People's Kitchen and hope that other people will help them with their goal of helping the homeless.
We would like to inspire our peers to help the homeless through an assembly, so that the People's Kitchen can get even more assistance and can run better.
