Sports trust collects clothes for the homeless

The group advertised their efforts with posters and through social media and members were delighted with the results.

Team leader Rachel Waring said: “The group have worked tirelessly to ensure that they could engage as many local young people as possible, they had the ingenious idea or targeting students of Rotherham College, where a high number of local young people attend.

“It was endearing to see how many young supported the project and how generous they were with their donations.”

National Citizen Service project manager Carole Foster said: “Already this year we have seen 550 young people through the NCS programme.

“The teams have raised over £12,000 for almost 30 local charities and community groups.

“To be part of NCS is to be part of a fast growing movement that has the potential to shape our future society.”
