We are very grateful to Chris Gillingham. He has brought us these bags of clothes from an outlet in Killamarsh. Thank you so much.

Sleeping Bags – an urgent appeal
We desperately need more sleeping bags. Each week we receive two or three times as many requests for sleeping bags as we have bags available to give out. Note that we do keep a record of who has been issued with a bag. We do this to try to prevent any obvious abuse of our generosity (and the generosity of our supporters).
A sleeping bag can literally be a life saver in cold winter weather. Fortunately most of us have a warm comfy bed to go to at night. Please spare a thought for those who haven’t.
Please, please support us by either donating sleeping bags, or donating money for us to buy them. You can leave donations of bags at St Thomas’ Centre behind St Thomas’ church on Chatsworth Road. Alternatively you can bring them to the Bus at 7.30pm on a Monday or Thursday evening outside Chesterfield Town Hall.
If you wish to donate money, please visit our how you can help us page.
A big thank you to the family of Keith Brown
The funeral of Chesterfield Councillor Keith Brown was held last Tuesday. Over £800 was raised in donations in Keith Brown’s memory. His family are kindly donating some of this money to Church on the Bus. The rest of the money is being given to other charities working with homeless and needy people such as Pathways.
