We believe every person has value! We are a small but mighty not for profit rough sleeper charity. 100% of what we raise benefits those on the street. We are a street army of unpaid volunteers. It is the belief of Project 16:15, that each and every one of us, regardless of background, social status, religious beliefs, sexuality, gender, finacial status or education has equal value. We all of us matter to someone, and everyone of has experienced pain, heartache, loneliness, even fear in some form. We can spend so much time arguing policies and agendas, theology’s and principles that we miss that moment when another womans son or daughter, another childs mother or father fades away from sight. Lost to isolation and loneliness, fear and depression, ending up yet another life on the streets, where prostitution, abuse and drug dependancy can become the norm. Project 16:15 aims to demonstrate, through an absolute revolution in kindness, genuine compassion and practical examples lived out, that there is hope, that there is purpose, for everyone. We build value from other projects we do such as Northampton Homeless FC where t he rough sleepers play team raising funds for other charities (such as sports relief 2020 and the Lowdown 2019) we also with Anyas wish provide hospital admission bags and welfare supplies to Northampton General Hospital so that if a rough sleeper is admitted to hospital they have some dignity with fresh clothing, sleepwear and toiletries, before we did this often the nurses would raid their own wardrobes to provide the basics.

We share food at ECO HUB, Swanspool Pavilion on Tuesday afternoons between 12:00 and 6:00 and on Thursdays between 10:00 and 2:00, with surplus food from other Food Sharers including supermarkets. We have lots of fresh fruit and veg, bread and other treats plus, the kettle’s on too if you fancy a coffee or tea! Your donations will also be shared with sharers! Food Sharers will evolve into a community fridge and food reuse café; and it will include a food buying club for people to buy food in bulk from wholesalers. Please note that Wellingborough Eco Group and ‘Food Sharers’ are not, nor will ever be a food bank. Food Sharers is simply a food reuse project open to everyone. Love food, hate waste, be a Food Sharer!

Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise called Glass Mill Social Enterprise C.I.C. This is more than food and is part of a platform called RSBA1 (Response, Sustain, Build, Achieve). A free supportive services platform to help people get back on their feet. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the happy stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and clothing to people facing a challenge. Whatever you can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. As everything given and everybody counts. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun food donations can include fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery items and non perishables. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with your food donations. Therefore we need your help to ensure we can supply the demand in this crisis. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. We, therefore, are a platform for a voice to be heard in the community and share life changing stories. It would be great to have more partners become part of these stories in your local community. Looprun has also expanded into providing toiletries and brand new items of clothing. For further information and gallery access on the impact of Looprun please visit: Website: www.loopruninstore.org
