I've raised £2000 to Support Brentford's Homeless Shelter

Takeaway meal/lunch for the following day

Winter Night Shelter: We have historically partnered with other venues to provide a Winter Night Shelter program for the last 5 years during the coldest 3/4 months of the year & in the last two have provided a 7 night a week overnight extension for 2 months for those at the end of the program that had found work – collecting rent over those 8 weeks to provide a typical month’s rent & deposit for our guests to move on with at the end.
This year with the growing need for capacity we branched out on our own & opened for 3 nights weekly. Ideally, we would like to provide 7 nights food & overnights for the coming season. We are actively seeking additional venue/s but currently can only commit to these 3 nights. If we can, we might stretch to provide just a drop in to give respite from the cold & food on additional evenings.
Over the last year we have provided 500 bed nights & almost 4000 meals to our local homeless community. With your help we hope to expand both the number of nights we open & the number of guests helped as well as broadening the services we have available.
