Liverpool's HOPE Project
receives ₤1000 worth of donations
ESTABLISHED 4 years ago, the HOPE
(Helping Other People Exist) Project, which is funded entirely by donations,
supports Liverpool's homeless. They are group of volunteers who go out
into Liverpool City Centre giving out a hot drink and a sandwich to those living
on the streets. The charity has recently received ₤1,000 worth of
donations from local pensions administrator
MyCSP. Donations include everything from
gloves and hats to sleeping bags and thermal socks. The group at the HOPE
Project go out four nights a week between 9.30pm and 11.30pm and stick to a
regular route so those in need know where to find them. David Boardman,
Director of Customer Excellence at MyCSP said:- "Hot food and essential
items such as warm clothing and sleeping bags are vital for anyone sleeping on
our streets. We're full of admiration for the HOPE project and the support they
provide for some of the most vulnerable in our society." MyCSP's
community fund supports local causes, and since its launch three years ago has
donated over ₤40,000 to 85 different fundraising campaigns. If you would like to
