A HUGE THANK YOU to BIG YELLOW for their continued support of Routes to Roots. R2R are very grateful to Big Yellow for the storage unit in their Poole facility. R2R are able to collect and store large items such as furniture and so are able to provide essential support to those who are being housed and who come from the streets with absolutely nothing.
