We help the homeless to get off the streets and beat addictions

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am fundraising for The Community Ark Project, a fantastic charity that helps the homeless and the desperate in the Reading and West Berkshire area.

As and Estate Agent who helps people find their dream home, this is a cause close to my heart.  Someone close to me has also suffered with addiction issues, and getting help is so difficult, anything that is offered to the most vulnerable and desperate in our society deserves all the support we can give.

The Ark Project is a bus that has been converted into a mobile resource centre to be parked up in the town during the day as a safe place people can come to and get help for bullying, domestic abuse, depression, debt, substance addiction and housing issues. It has 10 beds upstairs & will double up as place for the homeless to sleep and get the help they need, It will convoy with an ex prison van that is being converted into a shower & toilet unit.... also in tow will be a food trailer “burger van”, We plan to run the bus 365 but this is totally dependable on continued financial support in the form of corporate sponsors and charity funding grants.
