Charity Bowl February – Bexley Church’s Winter Night Shelter
Building on last year’s initial venture, Bexley Churches are once again offering free night shelter accommodation for homeless men from 3rd January to 23rd March. They are each given a meal and a place to sleep in a church + access to help for alcohol or drug addiction if required, etc. The venues are staffed by trained volunteers from different churches across the borough on 3 different shifts. Two members of All Saints, Shoona Birmingham and Steve Wise, are two of the volunteers. We invite your donations to go towards this venture by local churches.
