Night Shelter Volunteer Information Evening
Wednesday 23 November, 20:00-21:30

EHRS will be opening the doors to host the Night Shelter again in 2023.

Our Homeless Shelter opening again at EHRS will give fifteen people a warm place to eat and sleep once a week in rota with other churches and Synagogues through the later winter. Up to half of our guests each time are recent migrants or refugees including, the last time I joined them a mechanical engineer from Somalia and an ex-teacher from Monserrat, working as cleaners through the day but with no home to sleep in at night. These projects don’t solve the causes behind the displacement of peoples nor behind homelessness but they offer some healing – Refuah for the individuals who are displaced when they end up in London.

On this evening please join Lisa Bard and Rabbi Mark as he speaks about the mitzvah of hospitality and how we can support people experiencing homelessness locally. If you would like to find out how you can help, then please do join us.

Please email nightshelter@ehrs.uk to let us know you’re coming for security and catering purposes.
