Soup sippers raise £11,000 for homeless

Wednesday 07 December 2016

If you enjoyed your Soy shrimp soup, or perhaps the ginger and lemongrass broth - or maybe it was the good old-fashioned minestrone - you also raised £11,000 to help homeless people in Jersey this Christmas.

It's the eighteenth time the event has been run, with this year's total being almost exactly the same as last year, with around 4,000 cups of soup being sold.

One of the organisers Richard Robins has thanks everyone who helped make the event a success again this year. It's all in aid of the Shelter Trust, and the charity says all the money raised will be going "where it is intended and to where it is so needed – to make life a little more comfortable for Jersey’s homeless."
