HOW WE'RE HELPING
Charity begins at home, but what about those people without a home? We are a community based charity in West Berkshire set up to assist the homeless back into a home. Our aim is zero tolerance to homelessness in our area.

With a continuous stream of calls for support with emergency utility and food, when other options are not available, this provision has doubled in the last year and is continuing to increase due to the cost of living crisis. The demographic of the client is also changing, we are now receiving requests from families who are on a low income.
Our Befrienders are working hard with clients to ensure their tenancy, utility or other housing issues are resolved and we are very grateful to be able to utilise the Loose Ends premises as a base for this work.
WBH are grateful to all their supporters for the ongoing support which enables us to help those in the greatest need and thank the Mayor of Newbury for adopting us as one of his main charities this year. We also have a new project on The Good Exchange and again appreciate their support.

This is the Help Through Hardship number open weekdays 9am to 5pm, a free national number. Long wait times but clients will get to speak with a Citizens Advice advisor within an hour, so worth the wait.
