YTD Raised: £1,490.00
(UK, 1169858) Atherton & Leigh Shelter for HoPe is a homeless shelter that aims to provide emergency night time accommodation and a hot meal to people who have nowhere else to sleep. Your donation will help us achieve this so thankyou. We were set up to give homeless people a safe and warm place to sleep during those cold winter months. Starting in Jan 2015 with a pilot,2 nights per week for 8 weeks it was clear that this was a service that is needed and that gave us the encouragement to do it all again in 2016. We opened at the start of Jan but this time for 4 nights per week and for 16 weeks during which time our amazing volunteers looked after 83 different guests, providing them with a hot meal, hot drinks, conversation and of course over 400 good night`s sleep, for people who may well have ended up on the streets in freezing conditions, plus a breakfast to see them on their way. In 2017 we hope to open for 5 nights to start with and will be looking to go full time in the very near future and for that we need to try and raise some funds in order that we can get the right building, set it up so we can provide a safe, warm environment for guests plus feed what we fear will be even more people than ever before.
