This year’s Winter Warmth campaign will see OAPA volunteers packing and distributing clothes, sleeping bags and other essentials for homeless groups throughout the UK. The charity has set up collection points at hotels and restaurants across London, Brighton and Manchester.
OAPA has also teamed up with Livelyhood, a collection of independent pubs across South London who are selling blankets to raise money for the Winter Warmth campaign.
The Winter Warmth campaign is aiming to raise awareness about OAPA to help increase financial donations to help rough sleepers into careers in the hospitality industry.
Greg Mangham, founder of OAPA, commented: “This year, and in light of recent events, we need as much help as we can get to reach as many vulnerable individuals as possible across the UK.
“It’s been fantastic to see such a wealth of support and generosity on display from our partners and supporters ahead of the Winter Warmth campaign and we’re looking forward to extending our support into Brighton and Manchester this year to ensure that rough sleepers are kept warm during Winter.
“Any donations will be gratefully received before our volunteers begin to distribute the packs to rough sleepers.”
