Nameless and faceless people living on the streets
Perhaps we never notice or see them, out of focus
to us.
Where do you start when
someone has lost everything, no home, no security, perhaps even no hope!
MRCT supports homeless and vulnerably housed people in
Harlow, working
in partnership with Streets2Homes
and the Salvation Army Harlow.
This is achieved by
providing community services and resources for people in crisis or at their
point of need during times of uncertainty in their lives.
What do we mean by being homeless?
When people think of homelessness, they
usually think of rough sleepers. But homelessness is a much wider problem -
affecting hundreds of thousands of families and individuals every year.
These households may have a roof over their heads but they are often living in
inadequate 'temporary' housing which damages their health and well-being.
Homelessness can affect
anyone: families, childless couples and single people. And it's not just a
housing problem: it has impacts on health, educational achievement and
employment opportunities.
Working in Harlow In
partnership with Streets2Homes,
Maybury - St Pauls
provides
cover for users when the Street2Homes centre is closed
on Tuesdays.
The Maybury Centre at St Paul’s
Church is also open during the evening from 19.30 to 21.30 on the 1st
& 3rd Tuesday of each month. Hot and cold drinks, sandwiches,
soup and pastries are provided during the evening and the centre is coordinated
by a team of our staff and volunteers.
