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

Our History
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.
More than a bed

No one should go without a bed. Winter and the cold is coming. I want to help others.
Focus on Wellbeing

As an organisation, in all that we do, we seek to be person centred not problem centred. This principle is embodied in the support provided around health and well-being. This project brings together one to one support with education, awareness raising and opportunities to participate in activities that enhance physical well-being.

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
