STATISTICALLY, NORTHAMPTON HAS LOW LEVELS OF HOMELESSNESS. IN REALITY, THERE ARE PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS OR 'SOFA SURFING' EVERY NIGHT.
A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS GOES OUT ONTO THE STREETS ONCE A WEEK OFFERING HOT DRINKS AND FOOD, WARM CLOTHING AND BEDDING TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NO FIXED ABODE AND SLEEP ON THE STREETS OF NORTHAMPTON. |
They have the opportunity to listen to people’s
personal experiences and o er practical help and guidance and emotional support. We work closely with charities providing support for the homeless and individuals living at No Fixed Abode (NFA). Regular volunteers work on a rota, providing support to those out in Northampton between 8pm-10pm every Thursday night.
They have the opportunity to listen to people’s personal experiences, offer hospitality and give practical help, such as clothing and sleeping bags. Advice and signposting is also offered where relevant, as is spiritual and emotional support when the need arises. |

Brian has been volunteering for several years, and admits that some nights seem to be a waste of time and effort with few people seen or wanting any help, however there are many times when we are amazed by the opportunity to share food and friendship with people living or spending their nights on the streets of Northampton
“I met a man on the steps next to the Moon on the Square pub, who had just been release from prison after 16 years inside for murder. He had massive guilt over his crime and was convinced he could never be forgiven. I introduced him to Jesus, and gave him a Bible. He was deeply touched and went away tearful and lighter” Brian Volunteer |
