The Greenwich Winter Night Shelter has been taking place in churches and community centres across our Borough from November until March. During the coldest nights of the year it has provided a warm place to sleep, a hot evening meal and breakfast to 15 people who would otherwise be sleeping outside.

St Thomas’ Church has been the host on Friday nights and it has been a privilege to welcome our guests each week.

We are hugely grateful to the many people from our churches and local community have volunteered each week.

The Charlton Champion recently visited the shelter and heard the stories of our guests and volunteers. Catch up on their report here.
