Story

We work with any adults who are homeless, marginalised or vulnerable. On average this means that we directly work with an 150 people per week. Its important to understand what homeless actually means as well though because it is more that just those who are rough sleeping on the streets. It is also those who are in temporary accommodation units, hostels, squats, dry and wet houses, emergency housing and sofa surfers.

We try to offer hope to people that their lives can change, ideally through them finding Jesus but through us offering them practical, physical, emotional and spiritual help.

We offer support in three ways - through aid, transformation and growth.

To offer Aid we have;

Street teams going into the city centre 5 days week offering food, drinks and prayer;

Refresh this is our weekly hot lunch service and time for fellowship at St Marys Congregational Church;

The city's Winter Shelter with 15 beds, food, showers, clothes, prayer and guidance which opened on Nov 1st and will stay open every night until 31st March;

Restore- a clothes bank in Southgate Street for clients to come to get fresh clothes, toiletries and emergency provisions,

Our Mobile outreach teams support rough sleepers away from the city centre;

We try to transform lives through;

Renew (72 Eastgate Street) - our main offices, drop in centre, Training Centre.

Refuel our monthly worship session for staff, volunteers, clients and anyone to come and spend their lunchtime in prayer and praise.

We offer prayer through all of our street teams and at Wednesday lunch

We enable people to grow both practically and spiritually through;

Our Revive Coffee House in the Eastgate Shopping Centre where we offer employment opportunities to people who have lived experience of homelessness or addictions;

We employ people in the shelter who have previously been guests in the shelter. We have many volunteers with lived experience too who want to give something back.
