Valentine's Day Event at DWP

On St Valentine's day 2011 the Christian network at the DWP Adelphi Building in central London arranged a cake sale and asked colleagues to donate food and other essentials (such as pairs of socks and toothpaste) for The Connection at St Martin's charity which provides specialist support to homeless people from their centre in Trafalgar Square - providing street outreach, an emergency night centre for rough sleepers and day centre (the biggest day centre in the UK) with a GP service. £532.34 was raised which included donations from the sale of some paintings that the office no longer needed. They wrote: "Thank you ever so much for your recent Valentine's Day collection in aid of The Connection at St Martin's and for contributing a fantastic £532.34 towards our work with homeless and vulnerable people, as well as the generous collection of items. ...We couldn't achieve this without the support of organisations like yours".
