St Mary, Newington
I
have set up this page to give information about the Robes Project. On
Saturday nights from 4th January to the 22nd February the church will
become a night shelter for the homeless. Guests are triaged through the
Robes Project. The church organises the volunteers. We especially need
people who can provide hot food for 20 or so guests - cook at home and
bring along, we can pay for ingredients. We also need people who will
just be there and hang out with our guests and chat. We need people
prepared to sleep over. To help with breakfast. And to help with
laundry. Will put more details up tomorrow. Training is at 5.30 this
Saturday. Giles
So here are the things that we need volunteers for, Saturday nights/Sunday mornings from 4th Jan to 22nd Feb :
Evening shift: 6.45-9.45 Put out bedding, welcome guests, chatting with guests, help with supper etc. (need six volunteers)
Cook for supper: prepare food at home (we have money for ingredients)
deliver food in good time for 7.30. Soup or a main course or pudding.
For max 20 guests.
If you are interested in volunteering please e-mail penelopehigham@gmail.com, she is co-ordinating volunteers
