CIRDIC update from Lynn Smith

I dropped the donations left at St Stephens to CIRDIC Monday morning and had a catch up and chat with some of the people outside. Apart from the many “regulars” I speak to I’ve noticed over the last few months that there are more younger people who’ve been using the centre – a sad sign of the times – but how wonderful it is that CIRDIC is there.

I asked the centre manager if they had anything (alongside the usual things they need) that they are in particular need of over the next couple of weeks - and they have a special request for :

  • men’s spray deodorant (not roll on),

  • men’s underpants,

  • large disposable paper coffee cups, and

  • takeaway containers.
