Thank you for supporting Winter Night Shelter

Our Winter Night Shelter came to an end a couple of weeks ago after nearly 3 months. Just over 20 people came through the doors over that time staying at various church halls across the local area.

The shelter provided a safe place of community for people who would have otherwise been out on the streets. More than 200 volunteers helped by cooking meals, welcoming them, playing cards, staying awake overnight and much more.

Many of the guests found accommodation while being on shelter, others didn’t have somewhere be the time we closed. However, we are pleased to share many of them are now in places they can finally call home.

We can’t do any of this without you!

Individuals, businesses, schools, churches and the councils have donated money or essential items to fund all the vital items we need to run the project. Thank you from the guests and from all of us at Renewed Hope to everyone who has made it possible.

The Winter Night Shelter will be open again in December with preparations starting in the Autumn, but in the meantime, it’s business as usual at our Drop-In daytime support at Shrewsbury Chapel. In the past 6 months we have served nearly 3,000 meals to 206 people there. Roughly half of those people were homeless. We’ll also be running our usual street collections and taking part in community events in the coming months.

Thank you for all your support.
