Swansea solicitors help city homeless through ‘Rucksack Appeal’


Swansea-based solicitors, Peter Lynn and Partners are helping the homeless in Swansea this summer by continuing their support of The Rucksack Appeal Swansea.
Coordinated by Paula Stockley (who founded the appeal), the initiative aims to provide Rucksacks filled with essential items to hand out to anyone who finds themselves homeless or rough sleeping in the City.
The bags contain essential items to help in the hot weather such as sun cream, deodorant, shower gel and wet wipes and will be distributed from Matt’s Café and Zac’s Place.
“We started putting together rucksacks to help the homeless over the Christmas period in 2016,’ said Paula, “and since then, we have provided approximately 20-22 winter rucksacks and 40-50 summer rucksacks, filled with essential items for homeless & rough sleepers every summer and winter.”
Senior Partner Peter Lynn commented, “Paula first approached us to donate to the appeal in 2017, and I am proud to say, we have continued to donate to this extremely worthwhile cause every year since.”
With the fundraising still ongoing, Paula is encouraging anyone to donate as much or as little as they can through her Fundraiser page.
