January Update
January is proving a very busy but excellent month as we are all working hard to get the Night Shelter open by the end of the month - none of this could be achieved without the wonderful, generous support of of the Newbury community or our fantastic volunteers! With three more individuals moved out of tents and into accommodation and continuing support to others as they are progressing forward, our daily work continues and we know that even more can be achieved once the Shelter is in operation.
Watch this space for regular updates and do join us at our AGM (see Events) at the end of January for a full update.
