St. Dominic’s Priory School student Shauney Conner teamed up with The Shrewsbury Ark this Christmas to raise much needed funds to provide essential toiletries to the local homeless community. The money raised by Shauney’s volunteer work went towards filling up warm socks with items such as soap, deodorant, toothbrushes, shower gel and treats like sweets, chocolates and biscuits and this year he delivered 60 filled socks which were distributed by volunteers at The Ark to homeless people on 23rd December.
The Ark provides outreach support and day centre facilities for the homeless and vulnerable in the community and can be contacted at ark@shrewsburyark.co.uk, 01743 363305 or via Facebook or Twitter.
