Wonderful news - Hornby Villagers raised the
amazing sum of £1115 for the Christmas Night
Shelter for the Lancaster Homeless this year!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The Shelter’s organisers were so grateful as it made all the difference
in their ability to provide breakfast, lunch, tea & beds for 5 whole days
over the Christmas period. Homelessness nationally has risen by 9%
between 2018 and 2019, & the LDHAS has been helping a
gradually rising number of clients. They are really grateful for our
contribution to finance this short period of respite from cold, wet &
winds.
At this time of worldwide political, economic & climatic turmoil we may
feel helpless, but we have proved that we can still do our part in our
own little part of the world.21 22
