The Bus Shelter Dorset is a registered charity set up to relieve the need of people sleeping rough in Dorset by providing shelter, warmth, food and support.   

We have converted a double decker bus, donated to the charity, into a shelter for local rough sleepers with beds for 14 men and 3 women. 

The bus operates 7 days a week and is run mainly by volunteers in Weymouth, Dorset.   

Rough sleepers who have a local connection to the area are referred by Julian’s House outreach team, The Lantern Trust or Weymouth & Portland Borough Council.   

The Bus offers rough sleepers somewhere safe to stay and support them to access local services, integrate back into the community and make massive changes to their lives.  

We believe that if people have their basic needs of sleep, food, water, warmth and safety met they will be able to work positively on achieving their goals and improving their future.   

We need your help to ensure we can continue to offer this amazing service to rough sleepers.

Are you able to support rough sleepers on the Bus by making a monthly donation or one off payment?  

We are so grateful for every penny which goes directly towards supporting our guests and making a real difference.

EVERY ROUGH SLEEPER MATTERS AND YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY!!
