The idea of this project is really simple; we aim to provide essential items for as many homeless or housing vulnerable people as possible during the winter months.
And it is YOUR donations that help us make this a possibility and have a huge positive impact in instant and helpful ways.
You can find a list of everything we need below. Will you pack a bag to change a life?
We also have a dedicated JustGiving page if you would like to make a financial contribution to The Rucksack Project.
