The Friary

Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

The Friary is a charity which empowers homeless and disadvantaged individuals. We are open to take donations from 8am-4pm Mon-Fri.

Please check expiry dates on products before donating. https://linktr.ee/thefriarydropin Since 1988, at the Friary we have been delivering life changing advice, health and support services to many thousands of local people and we remain an integral part of the support system for homeless people in the Nottingham area. Those who are not actively homeless will be in some form of accommodation but may be vulnerably housed and therefore at risk of homelessness. For those individuals, our focus is on providing supportive early interventions which prevent homelessness from occurring. Service users' support needs are often complex and relate to housing, sometimes substance misuse, poor mental health, long term unemployment, social isolation and debt; they are usually in poor physical condition, have few friends and family and have entrenched low self-esteem and confidence issues. Our fundamental aim is to give people the time and space in their lives that allows them to make healthy and informed decisions about their future.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to Tiddlers harvest and those who donated to the Friary.

We raised £60 this morning. That money will go directly to the Friary to support the work they are doing in our local community.

All of your donations of food / drink will head to the Friary next week.
If you’d like to join us for our All Age Harvest service on Sunday morning at 10:30am we’d love to see you.

A big thank you to all who generously brought donations for the Friary last week. Some words from Ann Bremner, General Manager: "Contributions at Harvest time are vital for maintaining our food stocks and helping us meet the expected demand from local homeless and vulnerable adults who will need our services over the coming year. The Friary continues to provide hot breakfasts twice a week for rough sleepers and food parcels that are stocked differently depending on whether an individual has access to cooking facilities. Everything is appreciated by those who need it and nothing goes to waste."

Thanks to much to the team from the Office of the Public Guardian for volunteering for a day with the Friary. They were busy dating and organising our harvest donations 💙

They’re always such a great help, and they also donated some funds that they raised from a summer play they put on this year !

Thanks so much for your support 🤩

We are currently overwhelmed with donations!

This is a great problem to have - we have received so many donations that we are now running out of space!

Until our next Bargain Sale on 31st October, we can only accept donations of non-perishable food, and clothing for our visitors.

After our sale, we will have cleared some space so we will be able to start accepting donations again from November 2nd

Thank you all so much for your support!
