Last year, we merged with AOK Rucksack Appeal to form Hope AOK Rucksack Appeal.
This means that we supply essential items in four different packs to those affected by homeless and in various stages of their journey. This service is run by volunteers, and residents of Hope, many of whom have experienced homelessness.
We take requests from over 40 local agencies for packs of clothing or household items to be distributed to their clients. To request a pack click here.
We are always in need of warm, waterproof and comfortable clothing. If you can donate any items or funds to help us keep this vital service running, please click here.

A reasonably sized rucksack containing:
For those moving from the streets into hostel accommodation.
A bucket containing:
For those moving on from a hostel or supported housing into independent living.
For those attending interviews for work or a funeral - takes the form of individual requests.
