Homelessness Sunday 2007

On Sunday 28th January, Fiona and Sue gave a dramatised presentation at Swan Street Baptist Church in Spalding about the misconceptions many people have about the nature of homelessness. This is the Sunday when churches all over the UK remember that homeless people need support from us all.

Lincolnshire Co-Operative are supporting homelessness charities this year as part of their on-going work in the community

For two weeks there was a collection of food at the Co-Operative Store in Winsover Road, Spalding. The food was given to St Matthew's Housing project in Spalding which re-settles homeless people.
