Ruksak45218 is a Southwick
(Wiltshire) based Charity that provides a rucksack of essential items, i.e.
bedding, clothing, toiletries, school uniform, footwear etc for young persons aged 5 to 18 in Wiltshire. We
believe every young person has POTENTIAL regardless of their background. Whilst
we all adapt to “The New Normal” our young person’s cannot wait for this and cannot
remain without the essentials.
How can we have in Wiltshire –
·
Young persons in period poverty
·
Kids with holes in their shoes
·
Kids being bullied as they don’t have the right
clothes
·
Kids going to bed on bare mattresses as they don’t
have duvets
·
Kids using dish cloths as face flannels and the
list goes on
We need your help – you have all
been fantastic over the past 18 mon this – but there is so much more to do and
this is how you can help us – we are launching our £1 donation campaign and it’s
aims are simple – if everyone in Wiltshire can spare a £1 - we will then make up
rucksacks for every age group for kids aged 5 to 18 years of age and ensure their
POTENTIAL is achieved.
If we want OUR YOUNG PERSONS to
ACHIEVE POTENTIAL and do well in their education – this can’t be done if they don’t
have the essentials, i.e. proper clothes, bedding, toiletries, footwear etc –
we want our YOUNG PERSONS to feel confident about themselves, their appearance
and to know they have the support of the community – so we all need to get
behind our YOUNG PERSONS – as the Wiltshire Young Persons of Today are The Wiltshire
Adults of Tomorrow.

Question we are always asked What is 45218
It means for five to eighteen
year olds – in other words – young persons should be free to concentrate on
their education and not have to think about in one young persons words “in my
maths lesson I’m thinking on my way home, I’ve got to nick 2 washing pods, so
mum can wash my clothes”
Please let us all allow our Young
Persons to concentrate on their education – whist we can’t change the world –
we can make a difference.
Thanks
Team Ruksak45218
