June/July 2024
As of June 14th 2024 we are now back out on the street feeding the homeless, we are sorry to see the increase in their numbers.
We are now out most Fridays 18.30-19.45 by Marks and Spencers on Lister Gate, providing a hot meal, dessert, sandwiches and in the summer months water.
July 2024
We have two different stories this month to give you an example of situations we deal with.
Tracy was contacted about a young man named Dean who was living in a supermarket carpark and was in a bad way. His marriage had broken up, he became homeless, lost his job and as if it couldn't get any worse his mother passed away.
A sleeping bag, food were the easy fixes and with the help of a few good people it was organised that he could go to the funeral, a suit was bought and a bus ticket paid for. Tracy spent some considerable time with Dean just talking and comforting him.
Tracy received a phone call from a young lady who we first met in 2016 who was by her own admission in a right mess through alcohol and drug abuse plus her children had been taken off her.
She has now been clean for 3 years, working, got her children back and was so pleased to have passed her driving test a few weeks ago. For those of you that have met Tracy you can imagine there were a few tears of happiness and they are going to catch up for coffee very soon. Back To List
