Warmth for All – Community Outreach Event
Warmth for All – Community Outreach Event
About the Event
This winter, too many people in our community will be sleeping rough without the basic essentials to stay warm. Warmth for All is our response – a community-led project dedicated to providing coats, trainers, and sleeping bags directly to those who need them most.
On Saturday 18th October, our volunteers will be going out into Medway to meet homeless individuals where they are – on the streets, in parks, and in other public spaces – to offer practical support and a sense of dignity.
Together, we can bring warmth, comfort, and hope to our neighbours in need.
📍 Venue: ECA - 86 King Street, Rochester, Kent, ME1 1YD
📅 Date: Saturday 18th October 2025
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
How You Can Help
There are 3 main ways to get involved:
Volunteer on the day – join our outreach team to hand out items, offer support, and spread kindness.
Donate items – coats, trainers, and sleeping bags in good condition are especially needed.
Give financially – every contribution helps us purchase additional supplies and reach more people.

Why It Matters
Homelessness is not just about lacking shelter – it's about dignity, safety, and survival. Something as simple as a warm coat or sleeping bag can make the difference between hardship and hope. By coming together as a community, we can ensure no one is forgotten this winter.
