Goods will be donated to the Beacon Centre. The Beacon Centre operated Mon/Wed/Fri, coinciding with the church’s lunch service on Mondays and Fridays, where rough sleepers gather for food, warmth and social support. The Beacon Centre offers a warm, welcoming space from 8:30am to 9:30am, providing a breakfast and drop-in service for rough sleepers. During this time, officers will assess individuals’ needs, develop personalised support plans, and facilitate appointments from 10am to 1pm.
