Our Christmas Needs
The Whitechapel Mission is always grateful to receive any donations in support of our work. If you feel that the gift will be useful in our work with people sleeping rough, then we will be grateful to receive.
- Our work is with people sleeping on the streets of London. 90% of our guests each day are male.
- We are unable to accept white goods, electrical goods or kitchen utensils.
- We are unable to use household items. We cannot use duvets and pillows.
- Natasha's Law - The UK Food Information Amendment also known as Natasha’s Law is now effect in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to help better safeguard food allergy sufferers. This means, if you wish to donate pre-packaged food or drink, then it needs to include a full ingredient declaration on pack with allergens highlighted in bold and packaging needs to be intact.
- Cooked and prepared food can only be accepted if the preparation, cooking, storage and transportation meets with Food Standard Aurthority conditions and is compliant with Natasha's Law.
