The end of our winter season in 2020 was like no other before it. Kathy Howard, Welfare Manager of the Winter night Shelter said “We had to close our emergency accommodation early before the nationwide lockdown began on 23rd March and urgently find our homeless guests a safe place to stay. In the weeks and months following we have been providing emergency food relief and welfare support to those who have no other source of help.”
