The BH1 project is part of Boscombe Salvation Army. The project is open 7 days a week to help the most vulnerable in our community. We are now carefully reopening as a drop-in,  helping those in need in our community. This included food provision, clothes, showers, advice and help with support from many others eg rough sleeper team, mental health, doctor, optician, employment advice, housing advice to name a few. During the pandemic our ministry had to adapt but we were able to keep some kind of support going throughout every lockdown. We provided food, toiletries, clothing, advice, sign-posting, and a listening ear - all done within the recommended social distancing requirements. 

The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
