It was a quiet outreach further team this week. No week is the same. We had Pot Noodles, toiletries, snacks, underwear and a smile on our faces.

However many people we see, we know we have helped someone. When itโ€™s quieter it does give us more time to chat to the people we see.

Thanks to our fab team for always turning up ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Down in Chatham last night we had Sellebrity football to raise funds. How lovely of celebrities to turn up and play footy for 90 mins for our charity. Callum Best went down very well with the spectators!!

It wasnโ€™t very busy for us on Monday evening. Sometimes it just works out that way but it does mean we can spend a little more time chatting to people. It might be the only conversation that person has had that day.

We had concerns over a a couple of people who we see regularly which we passed on to the rough sleeper team.

This week is โ€˜Volunteers Weekโ€™. We are very lucky to have a team that turns up each week. Thank you to all our volunteers for making a difference ๐Ÿ’™

It was a really busy outreach on Monday. It wasnโ€™t just busy at the meeting point but every 50 yards we met somebody else who needed our help.

Luckily we had a team of 5 out to help plus a member of the Council rough sleeper team. Everyone got the help and time they needed from us.

We signposted some people to other services that may be of help them.

Itโ€™s going to be a warm few days so if you see someone who appears to be sleeping out, ask them if they would like a cold drink. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Team One Big Family dedicate this weeks outreach post to the lovely Carol who sadly passed away a few days ago. Carol had been using our services for as long as we have been running outreach.

She always took the time to say thank you, ask how are families were and check that we were all OK too. She will be very much missed.

Carol was a talented singer/songwriter too!

It was a quieter outreach for the team on Monday. You can never gauge it.

There are always people waiting at the start point for our team and this week was no different. Snack packs, Pot Noodles, toiletries & underwear are available every week for those in need along with advice and signposting to other services.

Thanks to everyone who supports us and also to our fabulous volunteers ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Our team had a super busy night on Monday. The week before had been quiet. We have no idea when we are getting ready for outreach what we are going to see so we are prepared for everything!!

Once again we ran out of snack packs but the good news is that nobody went without.

As the cost of living crisis deepens we expect to see more people looking for help.

Thanks to the team who show up every week to help these people ๐Ÿ’™

Our team of volunteers have been amazing whilst I have been off following a hip replacement. They have really got on with it and thatโ€™s what we need from a team.

It was a super busy night for the team on Monday. It was so busy that they had to ask Wetherspoons to refill our hot water flask and we ran out of snacks!

There were both new and old faces, all needing food, hot drinks, toiletries etc. The team supplied all of these things along with a smile and a chat.

We rely on our volunteers and we reply on our supporters o enable us to help those who need it most.

Thank you for supporting us. Please share ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™
