2024 Report:
Our street work with the Soup Kitchen that forms part of our charity continues to reach out to the many individuals that we encounter on a daily basis. Not only are we seeing homeless and street homeless, but also those with mental health, substance abuse and poverty issues.
The Soup Kitchen, being the main part of our work continues to run on a nightly basis through the hard work of our splendid army of volunteers offering a warm welcome, food and individual help and support.
With the increasing needs and issues that we have encountered this year we continue to find ways to provide a platform for partner agencies to work along-side us on the street where many of these individuals find themselves. With our Outreach Bus we have provided a place for the Samaritans who have for many years been working with us and NHS teams to provide hepatitis tests. In addition to our Bus clinic we have great storage to supply clothes, sleeping bags, and toiletries.
Kings Award
At the beginning of the year we were pleased to hear that we had been nominated for the Kings Award for voluntary services. Just to be nominated is a great honour, but to discover later in the year that we had been awarded this prestigious award was a great honour for the charity and all those who work so hard to make what we provide a success. It was during November we received official notice, but due to delays in the production of certificates and glass award we shall not have the presentation ceremony until early 2025.
Charity Shop:
The Charity shop continues to attract a regular number of people each day and being close to the main car parks has a good footfall.
The workshop to repair and recycle donated items is continuing to return items once destined for the bin, back into use.
