Giving us things
We are continually amazed and delighted at the generosity people show in giving us food and other items to help in our support of the homeless. However, we also get embarrassed when people give us things for which we have no storage space or which can be better used by other charities. We would therefore ask that, before giving us anything, you check this page to find out our current needs.
Donated items may be delivered to our Day Centre between 10 am and 4.30 pm on weekdays or between 11 am and 3 pm on Saturdays. Donations of food may also be delivered to our Night Shelter any evening between 7 pm and 11 pm. Please telephone us in advance on 01245 350792 (Day Centre) or 01245 252410 (Night Shelter) so that we can arrange for people to be on hand to receive the items you are bringing and deal with them quickly. The Day Centre and Night Shelter addresses can be found here and the locations are shown on this map.
