The 12th annual Tinathon in aid of the Shelter Trust for the Homeless in Jersey was scheduled to take place on Friday 22nd May.
The 2019 event collected donations of over 8,000 tins of food both to supplement food supplies in the four main Shelter residences and for distribution in food parcels for the needy in Jersey.
In view of the practical difficulties of running the event successfully and safely during the current Covid-19 isolation and physical distancing restrictions it has been necessary to postpone the 2020 Tinathon until later in the year. The event’s regular sponsors, Rowlands Recruitment, have committed their support for a future date when island life returns to normal.
In the meantime, the number of people in Jersey using the Shelter Trust’s services is increasing daily as the economic and social effects of the virus impact our community and the charity’s food and running costs are similarly increasing. Shelter therefore asks businesses and members of the public who would like to help the homeless and who would normally donate tins of food to Tinathon, to instead make a cash donation online to: justgiving.com/shelter-jersey
