This Autumn, we're teaming up with local homelessness charity Archer Project for their Harvest campaign.

The Harvest campaign is all about students and staff coming together to help ensure Archer Project have enough food, toiletries, and clothes to keep them stocked up for another year, so they can continue delivering essential services to Sheffield's homeless population.

We're looking to help Archer Project make this year's campaign their most successful ever. If you'd like to get involved, please donate as many or as few items as you can. Every item donated counts - from tins of beans to socks, T-shirts, and shampoo!
