Volunteering Opportunities: The Night Shelter
After a 2 year Covid-enforced break, the Together in Barnet Night Shelter is returning to its previous format, moving between communities over the course of the week for 3 months. We will host the Shelter, together with Golders Green Parish Church, on Tuesday nights from 28 February to 18 April 2023, at the Church (opposite Golders Green bus station).
Volunteering opportunities include: • Welcoming our guests and being their hosts for the evening; • Cooking a course for their evening meal; • Sleeping overnight with our guests, ensuring their safety at night; • Providing a light breakfast and saying a warm goodbye; • Driving their sleeping bags and mats to where they will spend the next night; • Helping to coordinate the volunteers who generously give their time and support to the Night Shelter.
If you are interested in helping with any of these roles, please can you email the Coordinators at alythggnightshelter@gmail.com
Given the cost of living problems we will all be facing this winter and the huge pressures on social services and housing departments, this provision will be more vital than ever. Please consider giving a few hours of your time.
Emergency Careline – 020 8457 8798 Please use this number if you need urgent pastoral support, for example in cases of hospitalization or bereavement. This number will be answered by a member of the Alyth professional team.
