Remember these? Right now ReNew @CGLHull could use yours if it's just lying around in your cupboard. We had a few lying around and were able to drop them off. Although old, they work and could be a vital lifeline to someone in the community. #Hull #Community #COVID19 @HULLCVS

If you've got any spare gloves or socks, why not donate them to @Emmaus_Hull. They're running low and these are critical when weather is at it's worst. Pop into any Emmaus store to drop them off. These go directly to the #homeless in #Hull. #StormDennis #ThursdayThoughts
We have been loading our orange bags to help the homeless keep warm during storm Dennis. If anyone has any spare gloves or socks to donate it would be much appreciated as we are running low. All donations go directly to the homeless and these can be donated at any Emmaus store.

If temperature drops below zero, SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) kicks in across #Hull. All rough sleepers can present at Dock House from 20:00. Concerned about someone rough sleeping, contact @Emmaus_Hull through their app. #Homeless #Homelessness #CommunityMatters
Afternoon Everyone Just a reminder that Hull have SWEP in place. This means if the temperature drops below zero, any one that you come across rough sleeping can present at dock house after 8pm. Stay Safe

Everything has its season, HumberHelp too. This project has now ended, after almost 10 years. Hopefully it had a positive impact & influence, helped people to understand more about #homelessness, directed people to help & support. Thanks for all your support too. J @photomoments

#TuesdayMotivation - Not everyone likes giving and receiving hugs so adapt the narrative and hug a tree!! With similar health benefits, you can't go wrong!! #NationalHugDay #NationalHuggingDay #TuesdayMotivation #TuesdayMorning #TuesdayMorningVibe #TuesdayVibes
Did you know that spending time in nature has significant health benefits? Research show that exposure to green spaces reduces the risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, premature death, and high blood pressure. Conclusion: go hug a tree! 😄 #NationalHugDay
