This year is the 10th anniversary of St Thomas Food Fight! It's amazing to note that we've been sharing free hot food and drinks on Cowick Street since 2016.

Does anyone know why Torbay Council has triggered their Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP), but Exeter City Council @exetercouncil.bsky.social hasn't? It's freezing out there. 🥶🌨️💨 And with the wind chill it's even worse.

If you're upgrading your winter clothes, we'd be very happy to pass on the old ones to good homes. There are lots of people who'd really appreciate usable hats, gloves, walking socks, and scarves over winter. 🙂

Really good to help out at @stthomasfoodfight.bsky.social today… The presence of #StThomasFoodFight more important than ever during the current awful weather - providing hot food & drinks to people on #Exeter’s streets… #StThomas #Kindness www.facebook.com/share/15PASt...

RT @StPetrocks "Right now St Petrock's Outreach Team is scouring the streets of Exeter, taking hot drinks and breakfasts to the city's rough sleepers, checking on their welfare "We can't do this without your help so please donate to St Petrock's Christmas Appeal" www.justgiving.com/campaign/stp...

Because cold temperatures are forecast, Exeter City Council is providing emergency accommodation for rough sleepers. You can use Streetlink to alert the outreach service to rough sleepers, so that they can be offered a warm place inside. news.exeter.gov.uk/extra-measur...

Tonight St Petrock's launched their Christmas appeal. Nightly 30-35 people sleep rough in Exeter. Maybe more. Women & forces veterans are more hidden. St P supports some 360 people a year. They have bought a house for 23 people unable to afford Exeter's high rents. Www.Stpetrockschristmas.org.uk

Our friends at Exeter Student Volunteers now have a table on Sidwell Street on Saturdays, 11:30am to 1:30pm. It's outside Positive Lights, next to Hospiscare.
