Communications Sabbath 23rd May 2015 Northampton Homeless

Northampton Homeless
Outreach
As many of you are probably aware, since last
October a group of us from Harlestone Road Church
have been visiting the town centre on Friday night’s,
helping the homeless & needy in whatever small way
we can. We have met some fascinating people and
over time a level of trust has developed and
relationships have been formed. We now feel that we
would love to offer these people much more than just
a sandwich, a blanket or a warm smile.
Communications
In order to get the next Church newsletter printed by early
July, I will need your articles submitting ASAP. So
please, if you have anything you would like to see included
in the next newsletter, please let David Wells know by
6th June. Thanks.

So now we are in the process of setting up a
partnership with Northampton Borough Council’s
Homeless Outreach Team, based at Oasis House.
Their job is to walk the streets of Northampton,
finding homeless people and offering avenues of
hope. They work closely with alcohol & drug rehab
teams as well as mental health specialists. Their goal
is to get these people off the streets and into
accomodation and rehab (where needed).
With this partnership, we, as a church, can help in a
much more substancial way as the Outreach team at
NBC have limited financial resources available.

Through donations we can assist those whom the
Outreach team identify as genuinely seeking to get
back on their feet. They will identify their needs and
we can hopefully help them. This could range from
helping someone with bus fare to get to a job
interview, to supplying small appliances and food
once they have found accomodation.
