M&S Bankside

We are a day centre for single homeless people and those in need. We are open 7 days a week, 51 weeks of the year. A breakfast & lunch and washing facilities are available 7 days a week, Housing & Welfare Advice four days a week, a clothing store twice a week, medical surgeries three times a week and access to computers from Monday to Friday. All of our services are free at point of use. On an average day we see 100-120 people. 50% of whom are street homeless, 40% in tempoary accommodation and 10% in secure (council or housing association) accommodation.

Please, if you have any items you are able to donate to assist the scheme, please do get in contact. We appreciate any items which are useful and in decent condition, and some items the young people could really benefit from are: - Toiletry packs (shower sets, bath sets, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc.) - Professional clothing or shoes - Clothes Hangers - Food Hampers - Dishes and cutlery - Document folders/dividers - Other essentials. During this season, it would help if you have any items which would bring a bit more joy to the young people: - Xbox 360 games or controllers (as someone kindly donated an old system a few months ago). - Xbox 360 slim hard drive (as someone kindly donated an Xbox; however, the hard drive was fried). - Movies - Art supplies (anything goes, even therapeutic colouring books) - Musical instruments - Workout equipment - Board games - Any other items you feel the age group would appreciate
