What the charity does

Since March 2020 (COVID-19), the charity works with Herefordshire Council and its Winter Shelter providing food, drink and other essentials plus supplying emergency microwave meals for newly homeless put up by the Council. When safe to do so, we will re-open our breakfast service. The charity is run by unpaid volunteers, and we rely on the generosity of people's donations.
