 New Forest Nightstop, the charity which gives free meals and accommodation to homeless young people in the New Forest, received a donation just before Christmas, but the kind people or group who collected the money did not leave their names.
New Forest Nightstop, part of local organisation Community First New Forest, want to thank the anonymous donors for their kind Christmas gift of £203 cash, made up of coins and notes, which was delivered to their Ringwood office in an envelope on Christmas Eve.
Sue Roberts, Nightstop Co-ordinator, said: ‘It was great to receive this unexpected donation especially at this time of year and we would like to extend our thanks to the kind people who collected the money.
Their thoughtful awareness about homeless young people at Christmas means that their valuable contribution has gone towards free meals and accommodation provided by our volunteer host households in Ringwood and around the New Forest’.
New Forest Nightstop provides emergency accommodation to homeless young people aged 16 to 24 throughout the year.
A young person approved to use Nightstop can receive one to five nights’ free accommodation in a supportive family environment while getting further advice on housing and employment.
Anyone interested in joining New Forest Nightstop’s well-established and friendly team of volunteers, should contact Sue Roberts or Jude Todd at Community First New Forest on 01425 478391 or nightstop@cfnf.org.uk
