homeless for three years; a man who has experienced homelessness since 2015; a pregnant woman in her late 30's who has been homeless most of her life and a 76 year old woman with mobility issues who has been couch surfing for many months. The adjustment from homelessness to living in a home is much more difficult than we can imagine. Homelessness is a traumatising experience, particu - larly when it is experienced over a long period of time. Kennards Self Storage have provided boxes to the Mercy Foundation since its inception. We will continue to help them carry out the great work that they do and congratulate them on their 10 years and enormous contribution that they make to the community.

ROTARY CONTINUES TO GIVE BACK

M artin Place is hive of activity every time the Rotary Club of Liverpool drive in to the City looking for a spot to park and unload their stock of food and provisions for those in need. On their last visit to the city there was the usual but also unprecedented demand for their supplies on offer. Noticeably the numbers on the street are on the increase. They brought ample stock of duvets, blankets and amenity packs.

to provide meals and basic necessities for the vulnerable in Martin Place every month until the end of 2023. Rotary International is a global network of 1.4 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe and in their communities. Rotary members believe that they have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues. 46,000+ clubs work together

to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene, help the homeless, end Polio, save mothers and children, support education and grow local economies.
