WSUP celebrate with fundraising ball

Woolwich Services Users Project (WSUP) are celebrating the huge success of their Charity Ball which took place at Charlton House on Saturday, 20th September. Donations are still rolling in and their first fundraising ball raised £11,000 to continue their lifechanging work with the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Over the past 20 months, they have supported over 800 people and served over 17, 000 meals. In July and August this year they welcomed 49 new guests; of those, 41% were sleeping rough, 10% were sofa surfing, 16% were living in temporary accommodation and 22% were women.

WSUP is the chosen Charity of SELCC and a number of members helped with food, wine, organising the ball and photography. One Chamber member, Diego Gomes, Fast Shield gave a large donation to fund the ball and at the event, he pledged £300 a month from the business to help WSUP to open for another service day which costs over £700 to open for one additional day of service per week. WSUP are looking for new Trustees and if you are interested in joining their Board, please contact: info@wsupwoolwich.org
