With the lunch rush wrapped up, our two-person team stepped in to give the hard-working volunteers a boost at the end of a long shift. Dividing up the duties made quick work of the remaining chores. One of us took charge of the kitchen, tackling the various cleaning jobs, including scrubbing down surfaces, while the other took to the main hall sweeping up the floor, clearing tables and stacking chairs away. Our help allowed the entire session to wrap up significantly earlier than usual. The space was left sparkling, smelling fresh, and ready for the next service. We hope to be back with a monthly session here, so keep an eye out for the next one and join us if you can.
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.
