Meet Laurence
Meet Laurence, a bright young member of our community and a truly inspiring and compassionate person! His dedication to helping those in need has touched us all.
Laurence's impact is a testament to the profound change that can be sparked by one individual's compassion and dedication.
"Keep'n' it Cool" Hampers
Laurence spent countless hours crafting Santa hats with his family and friends and selling them to create "Keep'n' it Cool" hampers for our service users. These thoughtfully curated hampers were stocked with essential items for summer- thongs, hats, sunscreen, water and more. Items many take for granted, but for those sleeping on the streets, they're crucial in the heat.
He is the perfect example that every individual, irrespective of age or background, has the potential to effect positive change within their community.
