The Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter will be operating from 24th November until the end of February providing accommodation for ten guests using a hybrid model with some nights hosted by various local churches and others at a B&B hotel in Southall which was used by the Night Shelter last year. The Shelter Worker will provide the guests with support, liaising with the local referring agencies including Ealing Council’s Rough Sleeping Co-ordinator and outreach teams from St Mungo’s and Thamesreach, charities working with homeless people.
Ealing Green Church will be providing a venue on Thursday nights / Friday mornings during January and February next year. If you can volunteer to help with the various tasks involved, either evening, overnight or early morning, please contact Lee Horwich by e-mail. Also welcome will be donations for the shelter guests of good quality second hand winter clothes, new men’s underwear, and small size toiletries.
Should you be concerned about a homeless person you come across on the street, the appropriate response is to contact the Streetlink website with the relevant details so they can alert their rapid response team to investigate and direct the person to local support such as St Mungo’s, etc. Please do not try to send homeless people directly to Night Shelter venues.
