A place of hope for the homeless
The Aurora A Cappella Ladies Choir in Chesterfield are holding a charity concert to raise funds for Church on the Bus.
The concert is on Monday, 13 May 2019 from 19:30-21:30. It takes place at Loundsley Green Community Centre on Cuttholme Road in Chesterfield – postcode S40 4QU.
The price of the tickets is £5 (available on the door) and this includes refreshments during the interval.
These are the items that we are most in need of at the moment :
men’s trousers, jeans, underwear, toiletries, coats and sleeping bags
Please bring donations to the Bus in Chesterfield on Monday and Thursday evening at 7.30pm. The Bus will be parked in front of the Town Hall. Alternatively bring donations to the Bus in Matlock on Tuesday at 2.30pm. The Bus will be in the car park next to Matlock Train Station.
If you are unable to take donations to the Bus, then you can leave parcels or bags at the St. Thomas Centre which is behind St Thomas’ church on Chatsworth Road in Chesterfield. Please make sure that you label the bags ‘Church on the Bus’.
If none of these are convenient, or you have any questions, simply drop us a message in the comment section below and we will get in touch
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.
