If you’re coming to a gig at Band on the Wall this Christmas, could you pop a tin of beans in your handbag or a bar of soap in your pocket? While the festive season brings joy to many, for others it can be a time of loneliness, hardship and depression.
Following on from our hugely successful campaign last year, we are once again collecting items for Lifeshare, a local charity that works with some of the city’s most vulnerable people, like the homeless and young people at risk of exploitation.
In the run-up to Christmas Lifeshare urgently needs donations of the following items to sustain its services:

Canned meat, tinned fish, baked beans, tinned vegetables, tomatoes, soup, tinned spaghetti hoops/shapes, chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils.
