Collection for local hostel (family event Weds 20th Dec) & hostel - festive generosity needed! :)


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


I'm collecting for two causes:


1) homeless - need warm hats, scarves, gloves (anything used is fine). Also chocolate, biscuits, anything smallish as a treat as friend of mine is distributing with her son on Christmas Eve.


2) Barry House hostel - collecting anything suitable for family party. So small toys in good condition, sweets, chocolate, decent decorations etc.


Please PM me to arrange collection/drop off.


Thanks so much!

Thanks for your messages so far - larger toys or bags of clothes may be dropped direct if that is okay.

The hostel is on the corner of Etherow Street and Barry Road next to Christ Church.


Food in packaging also gratefully received. Happy to collect if local (I don't drive unfortunately).

Food as long as tinned or in packaging is fine thanks... Just had a bag of sweets nicked from my doorstep so if anyone would like to donate I'd be very grateful. I've got some tablecloths, toys and books so far from my own stuff but already bought some things for local homeless so am reaching my limit in terms of what I can afford to buy.


Choc coins, choc fingers type party food would be great. Or sweets to give out on the day.


THANKS also to those who've dropped off donations directly!

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
