Buy Socks To Help The Homeless!

Hot on the heels of last week’s story ‘Hats For The Homeless’ comes another great idea – Socks4Homeless!

Socks4Homeless is a social enterprise run by students at the University of Liverpool. For each pair of socks you buy from them, they will provide a brand new pair for the homeless of Liverpool. One for one, it really is as simple as that.

As we all know, homelessness in Liverpool city centre is a big issue and, whilst there are many projects actively supporting these individuals, it is a real struggle to find fresh underwear and socks from clothing donations. Sleeping rough is on the rise and those who find themselves in this predicament can go for months without a change of underwear or socks.

As winter is now well and truly upon us, a simple pair of thermal socks can provide much needed warmth. The simple essential of a pair of socks – something we take for granted each day – would be greatly valued by those living on the streets.

So, if you’re thinking of buying some socks, either for yourself or as a Xmas gift for a friend or loved one, why not help out a homeless person too? Have a look at the range of socks on offer at their website www.socks4homeless.org.uk
