KAM teams up with the Canaan Trust for Charity Bed Push

Hundreds of people came out to support a bed push in aid of the Canaan Trust, and helped to raise vital funds for charity.

The Canaan Trust, based in Long Eaton embarked on a bed push from Ilkeston to Long Eaton on Saturday 28^th July to raise money and awareness about the increasing problem of homelessness in Erewash.

Many of the Canaan Trust’ own volunteers were out in force and helped to educate the public by handing out leaflets about the organisation’s great work. They also carried donation buckets, which were generously filled by the public. They were accompanied on their quest by two vans courtesy of KAM Servicing.

The Canaan Trust has been established since 1995 and provides assistance and help in the community for homeless people. They cover a vast area of Nottingham and their vital work is helping to get people off the street and into homes and employment.

The aim of the bed push was to try and help raise the £125,000 needed to keep the Canaan Trust running each year.

The bed push began its journey at Market Square in Ilkeston at 10am and was launched by the Mayor of Erewash Councillor Jennifer Hulls. It then went through Stapleford and Sandiacre before finishing in Long Eaton at around 2pm.

KAM Servicing Garages from Long Eaton sponsored the event. They provided all supplies such as banners and posters and 2 vans to accompany the bed safely on its travels.

Canaan Trust manager Kevin Curtis said: “We have been very grateful for the support especially from KAM Servicing. They have done a lot to help us and providing the vans was very generous. We did the push because we just want people to know that homelessness is not just a city problem but it is going on right here on our doorstop. We want to help these homeless people get back into society and to lead independent lives.”

KAM are very happy to be a part of this great cause. For more information go to  http://www.kam-servicing-sawley.co.uk/promotions.cfm?id=3517
