Story
Matthew's House exists to provide Hospitality and Hope to anyone who is in need of our support in the heart of Swansea.
I have been volunteering here for just over a year, since the start of the pandemic and have witnessed first hand the negative impact homelessness and isolation has had on the lives of many of our guests. Lots of them consider Matthew's House as a place of safety and refuge, where they can feel at home and cared for. However, due to the current COVID restrictions we have not been able to allow guests back inside the building instead we have provided take-away meals, dignity packs and additional support where we can.
Whilst we particularly seek to serve the homeless & most vulnerable in the City, we aim to offer hospitality and hope to everyone, regardless of their background, beliefs or circumstances. Matthew's House, like many charities, have been hit hard as a result of the Pandemic and the restrictions imposed and we have been unable to run many of our usual fund raising events such as the 'Cold Truth Sleep Out'. This event is as a result of that and for those of you that know me, know just how much I LOVE my sleep. But I feel strongly about this cause and the great work that Matthew's House do and ultimately one night of uncomfortable, cold, broken sleep is nothing compared to what many of our guests endure on a daily basis. So please support me to help raise awareness and money for this incredible charity. Diolch! (Which means 'Thank You' for all my non Welsh speaking friends and family) Xxx
Please give GENEROUSLY ; )
