HOMELESS NOT HOPELESS
Homeless not Hopeless (HNH) is a voluntary organisation established on the 5th December 2019, their main focus was feeding the homeless and people in need with hot meals, sandwiches, pot noodles, cakes and biscuits. It has now added clothes and a food bank, getting their donations from the general public and supermarkets.
They have a unit in Keighley, where the items are sorted out.
Everyone who runs it and helps out are volunteers.
At Christmas HNH did a shoe box charity, where you put items in a shoe box and wrapped it in Christmas paper. Items like socks, wipes, gel, chocolate and maybe a voucher for somewhere like Greggs, McDonald’s, Costa Coffee, that kind of thing. It was so successful they gave some of the boxes to other charities.
Dianne Oliver from our accounts team started volunteering in August 2020 on Wednesday evenings, she says she “wanted to do something helpful and give back to the local community”.
