The Society of St James would like to thank all the fans who donated to their bucket collection at the recent game against Huddersfield. A total of almost £400 was raised which will go towards funding 4 additional emergency beds for people who would otherwise have been sleeping on the streets during the recent freezing temperatures. These additional beds are not funded in any other way and so we rely on the generosity of our donors to pay for this vital service.
Meanwhile the Society continues to support over 2,000 people each year, providing services that literally stop people from dying on the streets of Southampton.
The Society would also like to place on record our thanks to the Saints Foundation for their support for our charity. The Society of St James is the Official Local Charity Partner of Southampton Football Club for the 10/11 season and 11/12 season.
