Street based support for the unsupported
Registerd Charity Number 1088245
£5 will cover the cost of the hot drinks bought by one worker for one day.  People will often take a few minutes to stop and sit down with the offer of a hot drink, this gives us the opportunity to talk to them and get them thinking about their situation.

£10 pay for the mentoring of a volunteer on one street outreach session.  Volunteers can have massive impact on peoples self esteem, knowing there are those that care is hugely important.

£25 will pay for 30 minutes of a soup-run.  We’ve been out doing our soup-run for two hours every Tuesday for almost ten years, it’s the perfect place to get access to those we aim to support.

£50 will cover the cost of a breakfast club.  This is a space where emotional support can be offered but is also key to practical support.  As it’s first thing in the morning we can do follow up work with other services immediately offering a smooth pathway into specialist support

Substance use can start as a coping mechanism.  We know that behind the issue is a person, and we aim to give them the support to access the right services
