A different kind of propping

Rather than propping up the scrum on the rugby pitch, Dan has been very busy propping up local charities since the lock-down. As a starter a clothing collection was organised, with the main focus of supplying male clothing to Project Malachi, for a hostel for their tenants. The overwhelming amount of clothing donated means there is a supply for more than just the men - clothing & shoes have been sorted last weekend.

So when the call came in that a pregnant woman in her early 20's had been evicted from a property and was in need of assistance, Dan dropped her off some food supplies and dashed down to Bancroft to collect a selection of clothing to help her back on her feet
