An ambitious new project is helping some of Chelmsford’s most vulnerable people.

The project, named A Small Good Thing, aims to support the homeless with donations from the general public to be collected over summer.

The project, created by Samia Uddin, a caseworker at Essex County Council, was inspired by Chelmsford charity Chess.

The project aims to collect and distribute basic essentials to the homeless shelters in Chelmsford.

These include baby wipes, sanitary towels, dry shampoo, combs, clothes and food.

People can donate to the cause until September 30.

If you want to donate, email samia.uddin14@gmail.com
