Small but big-hearted charity helps feed Birmingham's homeless with leftover Greggs As Christmas lights shine in the bitter winter cold, a choir of angels spread warmth in the dark.
By day the charity’s founder Clare Whitaker is a regional manager for a commercial cleaning firm – but by night the 51-year-old helps feed Birmingham’s homeless.
The mum-of-two warned: “Remember, when you see someone that’s homeless, that’s someone’s child, that’s someone’s brother, sister… there still a soul, really.
At one point, volunteers pulled goods for the homeless past the city’s top-end Ivy restaurant – the contrast could hardly be more stark.
But they do not have halos or wings – instead they’re clad in pink hi-vis jackets and armed with Greggs leftovers to feed the homeless.
