The Porch Day Centre provide day-long support for homeless and vulnerably housed people wanting to move forward in their lives, away from street-life. They focus on housing, health, wellbeing, education and employment, providing healthy food, practical help, companionship, learning skills, work related skills and opportunities for development.

The Porch have asked for volunteers to deliver leaflets raising awareness of their Winter fundraising campaign. We delivered leaflets around Cowley before Christmas, raising over £600, and this is a final push before the fundraising window closes. We will be delivering flyers to homes in and around Summertown this evening.

Come along for a walk and chat while doing a good deed.

Meeting points: * Runners meet at 6pm at the Keble Gate entrance to the University Parks. We will jog up the Banbury Road to Summertown from there (about 1.3 miles).
* Non-runners meet at Ferry Leisure Centre, Diamond Place, OX2 7DP at 6:15pm.
