Support the homeless with unwanted gifts

16/01/2020

Staff and students are being encouraged to donate unwanted Christmas gifts to support the homeless in Wolverhampton.

We sometimes get those well intended gifts over Christmas that end up in the back of a cupboard or hidden away in a drawer, but this year don’t hide them away, as a scheme is helping to put them to good use and support the homeless in Wolverhampton.

Enjoy Wolverhampton BID (Business Improvement District), in partnership with City of Wolverhampton Council, are asking people to donate any unwanted Christmas gifts or ‘preloved’ clothes, handbags etc in a number of designated wheelie bins located at Civic Centre, Mander Centre, Wulfrun Centre and University of Wolverhampton between Friday 10 January and Wednesday 12 February.

Look out for the bins in the ‘Alternative Giving CIO' brand - there is one in the Millennium City Building outside the Courtyard Kitchen.

This is a great way of donating unwanted gifts or preloved items as a gesture of good will and provides support and funding to local charities and agencies, getting people off the streets and into accommodation rather than giving directly to someone rough sleeping on the city centre streets.
