⁠An Instagram page set up for Sarah’s Trust has been posting photographs over the past week detailing the organisation’s work.

In one post, Sarah talks about the charity’s message in a video, saying: “Sarah’s Trust is about collaboration, it’s about unity, it’s about partnership, it’s about the smile of a child, the health of a nation and it’s from the heart.

“We’re here to serve and we’re in service to make your life better.”

There is also a picture of Sarah helping deliver Kip Bags with the charity to the homeless.

We have been working alongside some incredible charities that have continued to provide a refuge, care and meals to people that are homeless and struggling through this difficult time. We have teamed up with @chris.kipbags to create and deliver over 500 Kip Bags to people living on the streets. Each bag contains a sleeping bag, a torch, warm clothing and sanitary items. Our founder, Sarah, Duchess of York, said in her interview with @hearmeseemepodcast “If I was a rough sleeper I would want to know that someone had thought about whether I had something to lie on, or that on a cold rainy night I had something to cover myself with…which is why we have put these bags together.” Thank you to our partners, we think you are doing a remarkable job.
