What a horrible wet and windy evening. Everyone soaked through .All fed and lots of hot drinks given out. Lovely to have a new volunteer out with us this. The homeless are made of strong stuff I really don’t know how they stay out on a night like this 💪💚💪.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us again this week .

Please note :

The founder members have made the decision that we won’t be taking on any new volunteers until the New Year 💚 Thanks all xx

We have been asked this week What made you start this group up. So here is the Answer.

In 2014 Newport Council decided to stop the buses through the main street in Pillgwenly (known as Pill) 2 residents decided to start a petition , while collecting the signatures to get the buses going again they noticed the amount of litter on streets. They decided that something should be done . This is how the group was formed. Pip Supporting the homeless was started November 2018. Big thanks to all the volunteers old and new.

Great event again this year . Met lots of lovely people who came to our stand and all gave positive feedback. Also spoke to lots of people from a wide variety of groups and businesses who are doing great work in our city 💚

Great fun this evening with our homeless, everyone happy 😁 lots of advice given out this evening about accessing services. Two trolley loads of clothes, blankets and pillows given out along with 12 air beds and a couple of tents. All the food went as well as the meal tickets and hair cut vouchers. Thanks to everyone who donated this week and to our supporting restaurants 💚 and salons 💚
