PEOPLE in Salisbury are being asked to support homeless and vulnerable people during the summer.

Homelessness charity Alabare runs a Welfare Box appeal and is appealing for people to fill a box with small essential items such as toothpaste, soap and deodorant – and to add summer items such as sun lotion, hats and sunglasses.

Welfare boxes can be dropped at the charity’s drop-in centre in Carmelite Way or at the main office in Brown Street.
