“What would our clients do without this safe warm and loving place”

Staff from local agencies have shared with us how our Renewed Hope’s services make a difference to the community through the work of our volunteers.

East Surrey Outreach Service works with rough sleepers across 4 Surrey boroughs. They are often at our Drop-In meeting their clients.

One of their keyworkers said, “I am blown away by how wonderful the volunteers are, the food is always cooked with such love. They are an inspiration, giving their time to serve sometimes difficult service users. It makes my heart so warm to witness the shared love. As for the service, what would our clients do without this safe warm and loving place. The drop-in service is priceless.”

“It makes my heart so warm to witness the shared love.”

Another one of the team shared, “Contributions of Volunteers and Staff of RHT go beyond the hours you spend; they touch lives and inspire hope. Every meal served, every bed prepared, and every supportive conversation held creates ripples that extend far into the future of those we all serve. The time and love you give freely rebuild lives and mend spirits. Thank you for being such an essential part of the Redhill community. Your work truly matters, and it’s important to remember that each gesture of help and every hour of service contributes profoundly to the wellbeing of the Service Users.

Renewed Hope is a one of its kind in East Surrey. There is no other night shelter or day support centre for homeless people in the area. Another ESOS worker said, “It’s such a great resource to have Renewed Hope so close and so welcoming to both ESOS and its guests. Working alongside you and all the supportive, helpful volunteers is helping to reduce homelessness in East Surrey. Well done and thank you for your excellent work!!”

“The time and love you give freely rebuild lives and mend spirits.”

Our night shelter returned this past winter giving accommodation to 30 period over 12 weeks from December to February. We work closely with locals councils to help support the most vulnerable and those who would otherwise have nowhere to go.

One of the housing officers said, “You (all at the charity) were non-judgmental and accepted him. No one else would do that. There was no where else who would take him.”
