Soup Kitchen Goes Virtual

Tuesday, 1 December 2020 08:41

The annual Soup Kitchen to raise money for Jersey's homeless is taking place - online.

In past years, thousands of people have headed to the Royal Square to buy mugs of soup.

The rules on gatherings means that can't happen this year.

Instead, supporters are being asked to pick a flavour and donate £3 to the Shelter Trust.

They will then get entered into a prize draw to win meal vouchers from restaurants who usually supply the soups.

Money raised will go to the Shelter Trust to support the island's homeless.
