Do Good, Feel Good, Crisp Packet Project 05.02.2026 helping the homeless with Nitelight
Come and Do Good, Feel Good and help to turn crisp packets into sleeping bags as part of the Nitelight Crisp Packet Project.
On the 5th February we will meet near the Student Life Building Reception desk at 13:30pm.
We will take a taxi to the Nitelight centre in Southbank, Middlesbrough.
Arriving at 2pm, we will start to volunteer.
You will be creating sleeping bags, blankets and other items to help keep the homeless and struggling individuals warm. These items are given out at our free market stalls to anyone who requests one.
This process involves taking empty crisp packets, cleaning them, overlapping the foil with other crisp packets and fusing them together using an iron and a sheet of special paper. This is done repeatedly until you end up with the finished product.
Following our volunteering, we will then take a taxi back to campus and arrive around 5pm.
