Nottingham Street Aid comes to Central Avenue West Bridgford

Nottingham Street Aid is an initiative that provides an easy and effective way for the public to contribute essential funds to give constructive help to people who are homeless in the city of Nottingham.

Members of the public can donate using QR codes or via contactless donation points around the city.

A machine has now been installed outside Central News and Cards on Central Avenue in West Bridgford. 

This machine proved rather tricky to install but with the help of Tim Fox, Vicar of St Paul’s church on Boundary Road (and secret electrician), the West Bridgford donation point went live on 27 December.

People living in West Bridgford can now tap a card on this donation point to donate £3 to the fund.

Charities around the city, such as the Friary in West Bridgford, can apply for this money to help their clients in any way they see fit. For the first time, this provides a pot of money that is entirely unrestricted to cover all and any costs to help someone away from a life of rough sleeping.
