One 2 Three Friday 19.8.22 with Julia Lacey and Dan Skeates from Cool to be kind.

with Julia Lacey and Dan Skeates from Cool to be kind.
One 2 Three
Patrick Sherring

Studio guests were founder Dan Skeates and volunteer Julia Lacey from from COOL TO BE KIND https://www.c2bk.co.uk Dan stated that the impetus for doing something was returning to Chelmsford from travelling in 2015 and finding many rough sleeper on the streets. In 2015 the Rucksack Project was launched. Over 300 rucksacks were donated. After the second project in 2016, C2BK was formed with five original members. The aim, “to do more”. They began with working with other outreach groups. Dan chairs the ‘Housing First sub-group’ which is part of the ‘Chelmsford Single Homeless and Rough Sleepers forum’. Julia spoke of her volunteer organisational work with drivers collecting items from Marks and Spencers that are placed in two community pantries. There is a need for another driver to join the volunteers. She also spoke about the Wednesday evening sessions in the layby next to Chelmsford library where help and advice is available. Dan noted that C2BK can facilitate the work of the practical organisations through raising money. Through Cool Collaborators they have helped other organisations outside Chelmsford. His impression was that there were the same number of rough sleepers on the streets as in 2015, but that mental health issues and the abuse of drugs had increased.

Information was available for rough sleepers and those wishing to help and support on https://www.streetsupport.net/chelmsford

The Rucksack Project will be happening again this coming Autumn. Information on the contents for the rucksacks and how to donate can be found via the website.
