Undergarments for Everyone is the campaign to raise money in order to buy new underwear for homeless people. It started at university and has continued after graduating, as an ongoing project.
I set-up a series of collection boxes in charity shops and at my university SU bars, as well as running an online crowd-funding campaign with sponsorcraft.com. With the funds I collected, I bought new pants and socks to donate to two charities working with homelessness in Bristol: The Julian Trust, and the Compass Centre. I have now renamed the campaign to Pants for the People, and continue to make occasional donations to Exeter’s homelessness charity: St Petrock’s.
Undergarmentsforeveryone.co.uk is the blog where I keep updates of the project.
