What the charity does

Provides hot freshly cooked 3 course meals to homeless and vulnerable people at two weekly drop in sessions. The sessions cater for between 50 to 150 people. We also provide practical advice on where to find emergency accommodation and work with outreach and health services. We also run a gardening project that involves services users in growing the vegetables that contribute to the meals.
