Survival bags are desperately needed by homeless young people in the Harrogate Area. Your challege is to get local businesses to contribute to the contents of these bags which could contain basic sanitary items such as toothbrush, deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, small towel, non perishable high energy food items, basic underwear / socks, gloves etc in winter or suncream in summer, small torch, progressing to "super-duper" items such as £10 supermarket giftcards, bus pass, launderette voucher etc - the contents are only limited by your ingenuity and bargaining skills. The teams could be split up into two teams or more if required, with the best bag "judged" by a homeless young person.
