The Get Rid of and Donate is a phenomenal organisation which redistributes items to those in need, so we were really happy to be able to help them hand out much needed clothes, bedding and shoes to homeless people on the Strand. We arrived by foot and bike ready to meet Andrea with the van and it was immediately all systems go. While the sleeping bags and blankets went quick, we fashioned a rather pleasing makeshift shop floor using the railings outside the police station as helpful mannekins to model our jackets and coats. It worked a treat with people able to browse for the right one for them and had a little fashion show going on for the people walking down the Strand. An hour later we were packed up and ready to go as the fabulous SWAT team (Sikh Welfare and Awareness) arrived with the food.
