So, as you know guys, it's a sad fact of reality that we have been giving these out for the last three years, this time of year.
These are certified emergency blankets to keep people warm inside their houses.
We can't provide everybody with woolly blankets and hats and scarves.
We do as much as we can.
If you're in need of those items, just pop us in a letter and it'll be put before the trustees to decide whether we can gift them out.
But these are relatively cheap and, you know, the NHS use them.
People use them, the Red Cross use them across the world, you know.
So, we give these out to keep families in Wales warm.
Old people, young people, families, homeless people.
Because these are the tried and tested measures.
Now, it's all very well to say to an older child, well, they're on your Xbox.
Or, well, they're in their room, on their tablets.
Put this over your bed, keep you warm.
Oh, it's difficult with younger ones.
So, what I would recommend is build a fort out of it for them to play in.
Have a couple and build a fort.
Because it'll keep it warmer.
Put them up on the doors.
Put them up on the windows.
They definitely work.
When I've got one on my bed, all the cats are under it.
Straight away, they're all under it.
And that puts up the heat then as well.
Because they're all under it.
And if I've had two cats that have come back and they haven't been very, very well.
And the first thing me and Dan do is dry them off.
Wrap one of these round them.
Do our best to try and comfort them or whatever.
And both of them...
One of them was like death's door job.
I got a video of it.
And about three hours into having this wrap around her, she jumped up.
Ran out.
Out the cat flap.
Come back with a bat.
And then went out.
As normal.
Actually better than what she's been in a long time.
So...
These do the trick.
If you're old, put a blanket on your lap.
Then put one of these over your lap.
I wrap them round my feet.
I've got them and I cut them.
And I put a sock on.
And then I sell it a bit round my feet.
And then I put another two socks on on top.
To try and keep me warm.
I've got a good mind to put myself in an entire suit this year to keep myself warm.
I've just ordered some extra curtains.
Heat curtains for the doors for the shops.
And I'm happy to say that we're in a position to do that this year.
I wanted those when we first started.
But couldn't afford them.
And they were on a good deal.
So...
Dan will get them up.
But this is what we are issuing.
We're not a charity.
We don't get thousands of pounds worth of grants.
We...
put up with a lot of bullying online.
But we're out there.
Giving these out to families in need.
To prevent them from freezing to death.
And people on the street.
And old people.
Like I said.
Choose who you support.
Very wisely guys.
Okay.
We've...
We've picked these.
Because they are the cheaper...
The cheapest thing that we can get.
Other than...
Other than our blankets.
Because we get lots of blankets in.
And we gift loads out at this time of year.
But they are...
99% effective.
And they're used by medical professionals.
And the health boards.
And ambulance.
Red Cross.
Thousands of charities across the world.
Use these.
Um...
To keep people warm.
And to keep them alive.
You know...
It's a sad...
State of affairs innit.
That we've got to give these out to people.
In Wales.
In Wales.
In Wales.
