2021 Winter Appeal – Launched June 1st

Winter can be harsh, particularly for those living on the streets and so Soul Café is collecting some ‘Winter Warmers’. For someone living rough the gift of a warm jacket can make a powerful difference not only to their comfort but to their mental wellness. And a warm chunky soup really fills the belly and lifts the spirits on a cold, wet winters day.

You can help make a significant difference this winter by donating funds or some of the goods below to help Soul Cafe Newcastle assist the vulnerable and those sleeping rough on the streets.
