VOLUNTEERS from a Sikh temple in Chapeltown spent the day giving out food, toiletries and warm clothing to those who needed it most at a centre helping the homeless.

Members of the Kalgidhar Gurudwara Sikh Temple collected countless item for RAISE at St Anne’s Resource Centre in Woodhouse, which supports people who are rough sleeping or vulnerably housed.

It gives those who need it a place to use a shower, wash clothes, rest and store their belongings, as well as providing towels, toiletries, clothing and underwear.

The charity was contacted by the temple, which last winter opened up to the homeless to offer items they had collected, but didn’t reach as many people as they had hoped.
