The Rucksack Project This term, our Charity task is to help people in Northampton who are homeless and living on the streets. The challenge is for each Tutor Group to aim to fill at least one rucksack full of essential items. Rucksacks are being delivered to people who are street homeless in town 8th December. Each filled rucksack will be counted and Vivos will go to the House that donated the most bags
