Watford Winter Shelter 2023/2024

It still feels like summer but winter is coming! New Hope will be running a winter shelter from 1 December 2023 to 31 March 2024 - a hot meal and emergency accommodation for people rough sleeping in the town. But we need your help to make it happen!

We need:

  • support workers to run the shelter

  • volunteers to help prepare the meals, set up the room, and man the reception area (three per evening 6pm to 11pm)

  • a freezer so we can store additional food

  • food donations, such as mince and vegetables for healthy, hot meals

Please have a look at newhope.org.uk/jobs for more information on the support worker jobs and newhope.org.uk/volunteer for the the volunteering positions. If you have a freezer you would like to donate or are able to help with fresh food donations, please get in touch with the team at the Haven who are co-ordinating the winter shelter this year. Thank you!
