Our Drop-in is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10.00am to 2.30pm. A two-course hot lunch is available, as well as laundry, showers, access to the internet, breakfast and hot drinks all day. Rough sleepers can also receive food parcels, sleeping bags, underwear and donated clean clothes. Our expert team can advise on accommodation and job searching, and provide access to other services such as alcohol/drug dependency support, medical help, refugee advice etc., as well as leave to remain guidance.

As one of the Merton Night Shelter locations, Martin Way Methodist church provides emergency accommodation one night a week between Jan/Feb.

We will be helping Tony and the team with the set up of beds for the evening - it's a small job and a great way to end the day. On arrival head into the building through the main reception area (glass door from the car park) and you will either find other volunteers (or Tony, our contact at the church) in the church hall (turn right as you enter reception) or the kitchen (turn left as you enter reception). Just say you are with GoodGym and go from there.

How are you getting there?
