Another service which you help support @BensCentre
provides a wide range of services and activities for vunerable and homeless people. Every client gets one of your shoeboxes at Christmas- we donate about 60 to them, and the feedback is that they are really appreciated .

⛰ After a group of ravers - The Council Of Bens - who hosted a fundraiser atop #BenNevis were harshly criticised on social media, @maryannochota wonders if our mountains should really be reserved for quiet contemplation.

URGENT SHOE APPEAL 🙏 Please repost. 👟
We have almost completely run out of suitable shoes to give our clients. If you have an old pair of shoes or trainers you could donate, it would make a huge difference to the life of a vulnerable person in Sheffield.

"From the beginning of our page we have always said that we will use our platform for positive change"
The Council of Bens, who formed at @BoomtownFair last year, will climb Ben Nevis with DJ equipment this weekend in aid of @MindCharity and @BensCentre

Since 1996, Ben has been dedicated to providing a safe space for street drinkers, victims of misuse and homelessness. Nowadays, he volunteers in the day centre and is a member of our board of trustees.
It's #volunteersweek 🫶
To all who give their time to volunteer for Ben's Centre, from our front-line volunteers who welcome clients with smiles and mugs of tea, to our trustees and those who do important work behind-the-scenes, we want to say a massive "THANK YOU!!!" 🧡🧡🧡
Socks + pants are some of the most needed but least donated items. Fresh clean clothes give our clients improved hygiene, comfort and confidence, so we really appreciate this donation! 🧡

An amazing achievement! 🥳 Chris has raised over £750 to support vulnerable people in Sheffield 🫶
I did it!!! On Thursday morning I reached the summit of Mount Toubkal.
So incredibly proud to have raised money for @BensCentre. If you wish to make a donation please see the link below.

In five weeks I'll climb Mount Toubkal (13,671ft) in Morocco to raise funds for Ben's Centre in Sheffield.
It's a wonderful charity that provides sanctuary for vulnerable and homeless people. It's a small charity so every penny counts!

Please repost/share! 🙏 This is our sleeping bag store right now.
As you can see, we have run out of sleeping bags in our stores. 😦 (🧵)
#sheffield #southyorkshire #sheff #steelcity #homelessness
We only provide sleeping bags when we feel a client truly needs it.
Unfortunately, they are susceptible to theft and water damage, meaning rough sleepers can go through them quickly. 🌧️
#sheffield #southyorkshire #sheff #steelcity #homelessness
We are dependent on people like you to donate second hand sleeping bags for our rough sleeping clients.
Our wishlist: amzn.eu/75kYbRH 🍞
If you are unable to donate, please give this a repost. It may seem small but sharing our posts gives us a massive boost. Thank you🧡
