HELPING THE HOMELESS

 

Wigan Rotary Club and Soroptimist International of Wigan have again joined together to help ‘The Brick’ by donating sleeping bags for some of the homeless in the town.

Wigan Rotary Club President John Walls said ‘This is the third year we have joined with our Soroptimists friends to help such a worthwhile charity as ‘The Brick’.  While we all hope the winter is not as severe as last year there will still be a demand for sleeping bags.’

Pauline Makin Wigan Soroptimist President agreed and continued ‘The charity do such wonderful work in the town and is one our club has supported for a number of years.  In the current economic climate the demand for the type of facility they provide will only continue to increase.’

Trish Green manager of ‘The Brick’ is very pleased with the donation and continued ‘We are very grateful for the 22 sleeping bags from two groups who have given us regular support over the years.  I can assure everyone that they will be well used whatever the weather over the coming months.’
