We are opening another house to cope with the demand for our services, and we need a fridge for each of the residents. If you have an under the counter fridge, in good clean condition, that you'd like to re-home, get in touch with our supporter care team on 01872260948. Thanks!💛

“We provide emergency overnight accommodation so that people don’t have to sleep outside in the winter weather. During the time that people stay with us, we work intensively with people .. and try to find them more permanent accommodation.”
