Story
Our Vision: To end the need for people sleeping rough in Dorset
Our Mission: To provide safe accommodation for people sleeping rough in Dorset
The Bus Shelter Dorset is a Charity to end the need for anyone to sleep rough in Dorset.
We are converting a double decker bus into a mobile shelter with 16 beds for rough sleepers to sleep safely and off the streets
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.
Guests on the bus will be supported with their life skills, benefits, health and housing by volunteers on the bus.
We will work alongside other agencies to encourage guests on the bus to move into suitable accommodation and to change their cycle of homelessness in order to integrate back into society.
Each guest who comes on board will need to agree to The Bus Shelter Dorset’s contract of expectation and be willing to accept the help and support on offer to them. Everyone will be expected to be in bed by 11pm and up and dressed by 9am.
We will also offer guests the use of a PO BOX so that they are able to apply for work, register with GP and make benefit claims.

Hitchhiking around Hants & Dorset as a 17 year old once spent an 'eventfully' night on top flight of a double decker in Bournemouth bus station when I had no where else to go. Great initiative.
