Reading’s First December Night Shelter at the Queens Arms

We have been awarded funding from the central government cold weather fund to end rough sleeping. It means that we can open the All Night Cafe Shelter for the homeless every night in December! Grace Gomez, founder and chair had this to say about the news on Facebook:

I cried tears of joy for hours. We will be open on Christmas day to treat our guests to a wonderful Christmas day and they will be able to go to sleep stuffed with Christmas dinner, safe and off the streets.

We are going to need volunteers from 7.30pm to 10pm 7 days a week. Why not sign up as a group of neighbours, work friends, church or friends and commit to one more days in December? 8 volunteers will be needed each day in December.
