    Kez_s I'm no good at posting links etc but googled "homelessness in Dorset" and it found a few places. Think one was aimed at young homeless people give them a ring and see what they are short of. That's what I did with Barnabus and they gave me a list:) boxer shorts, socks, hats, roll on deodorant , disposable razors etc HTH

    It's not the things you do at Christmastime

  • yes i must agree i don't like the thort of giving to people in need and them having subliminal messages feed to them i think religion has coursed enough problems in the world so lets not create more issues !people who believe will find there beliefs and people who don't wont and it should be kept that way.The children are so deprived of what we consider everyday things yet if they don't attend a bible study's class there not good enough for a xmas shoe box all of a sudden. that sounds more like blackmail more than xmas cheer and goodwill i will definitely be dominating to a non religious group were there's no strings attached! and hidden agenders.
