This individual has recently been released from prison and his accommodation is currently unavailable. The processing period for securing accommodation is expected to take a few days. In the meantime, he remains street homeless and there is concern that staying on the streets may lead to a temptation to reoffend, due to living conditions. We are reaching out for your assistance in temporarily housing him for four nights in a bed and breakfast to provide time for a permanent solution to be arranged.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This lady came to the St Vincent de Paul centre after failing her weekly rehabilitation test for alcohol consumption. She was immediately expelled and given conditions to return the following week if she passes the test and remains clean to continue her rehabilitation. Believing in the importance of rehabilitation, we are reaching out for help to provide temporary housing for this young lady for four nights, away from the streets and temptation, to support her in staying clean and restarting her journey to recovery.
