Looking for Change Campaign Launched in Newmarket

After a successful launch of the Looking for Change campaign in Bury St Edmunds, Bury Drop In were asked to team up with the Newmarket Inter-faith Forum and bring the alternative giving campaign to Newmarket. The campaign asks people not to give money direct – but to text donations to a dedicated number. It means the money will not only help rough sleepers, but also people who are homeless but not living on the streets and those who are vulnerable.
