Provide Essential Items

The idea of this project is simple; we aim to provide essential items for as many people experiencing homelessness as possible during the winter months. And it’s your donations that help us make this a possibility and have an instant, positive impact. 

You can find a list of everything we need below, and we also have a dedicated JustGiving page if you would like to make a financial contribution to The Rucksack Project.
