Emergency Food

Out of hours food is held by the 700 Club at its hostel St. George's Hall in Elmfield Street. The store is available for access on all evenings and during the weekend after 5.00pm. Agencies may refer people with whom they may have some involvement, but individuals can also self-refer.

The out of hours store will only provide ' iron rations' designed to ensure that an individual does not go without food overnight. The person concerned will be expected to access one of the main food stores the following morning at:

Grange Road Baptist Church - open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 10.00am and 12.00 noon, or
The Kings Church Food Store, Whessoe Road. Open Wednesdays and Fridays from 1-3pm

Sponsor a room

We believe that no one should be left with no alternative but to sleep on the streets or on a friends sofa. To allow it diminishes not only those forced to do so but also those who know about it, but refuse to act. Together we can make a difference.

Where the need is greatest

Our work goes on day after day, but it's only through the generous donations of our supporters that this remains possible. With your help we can bring an end to the suffering that homelessness causes. Read more

Help those who beg

Loose change feeds problems, it is not a solution. Help us bring support to those who beg. People beg for different reasons, but for all it is symptomatic of need. Help us to meet the person's needs so that they are not diminished by the need to beg. Read more
