via Katrina at WYDAN
Last year (2016/17) The WYDAN Nightshelter hosted 23 individual men and provided 398 individual nights of accommodation over 17 weeks.
This year, the WYDAN Nightshelter opened on 20th December 2017. We are currently in our 12th week of hosting and have provided 473 nights of accommodation to 26 individual men.
As you can tell from these figures the demand and need for the shelter is high. We would also like to run the shelter all year round.
To this end I have attached two appeals for funding and also for new host organisations. We will be holding two public meetings and if you think your church or other faith organisation may like to become involved please do come along to either of these meetings. If you are unable to attend either please email us and we can provide you with further information.
The shelter makes a huge difference to the lives of our guests here are some comments that they recently fed back to one of our host organisations …..
- “This is the first time I’ve felt safe in a long time.”
- “It is good to share food together.”
- “I live this day. No past. No future. All is gone. The future? Only God knows. Now is all I have.”
- “My heart is warm when I meet good people. A week passes. I have to say goodbye, and my heart hurts.”
