SIR - Could I take this opportunity to thank all your readers for their generous response to the Caring at Christmas appeal.
Their generous donations of food clothing and toiletries were very much needed and appreciated.
The charity provided food (2,022 meals), companionship and accommodation (50 to 60 people sleeping each night) to homeless people from Christmas Eve to New Year's Eve. I think that the following comment, made by one of the many guests to use the facility, says it all:
"Thank you for taking time out of your Christmas to give us a better Christmas and somewhere to eat and sleep off the streets. It has been very much appreciated. I would have had an unhappy time if not for the volunteers and their kindness! Best wishes for the New Year. Thank you"
Says it all! Thank you.
