Thank you to everyone who has purchased a pair of Running Bear socks over the last few weeks. We were able to donate 300 pairs of brand new socks to the Booth Centre! They are a lovely organisation that provides a warm welcome, an opportunity to belong, to gain a purpose and rebuild lives. They support people to improve health and wellbeing, access emergency accommodation, and secure and maintain a permanent home. The Centre is run in partnership with the people who attend and they apply their skills and experience to influence strategic change.
Amy, the Head of Fundraising and Development for the Booth Centre, sends a huge thank you to the Running Bear community:
“This donation is so valuable; honestly, we can’t tell you enough how important it is to be able to offer people the dignity and comfort of a new, clean pair of socks when they visit us. At this time of year, it can be soul-destroying for people to walk around in wet, cold socks all day and night, so the smallest of gifts can make a real difference. Thank you!”
