Staff and Volunteers at The Basement ‘dashed for drawers’ on Sunday 2^nd December in the 2012 Liverpool Santa Dash.

The team donned their full festive gear to raise money to buy new underwear for homeless service users of The Basement’s drop-in centre which see’s over 40 people visit each week from 5.30 to 9.00pm.

The Basement drop-in centre offers support for rough sleepers to come in from the cold, take a shower, talk to one of our support workers, access counselling and now due to the success of our Santa dash fundraiser – get some clean underwear!

Michelle Smith, Director of The Basement homeless charity commented:

“Raising money for underwear may seem like an unusual request, but it makes a massive difference to our service users. I’m sure everyone can appreciate how having small things in life like clean, new underwear can increase your self-esteem and make you feel better about yourself and that’s what the Basement is all about – helping people to help themselves.”
