STAMP OUT: Night shelter for the homeless

STAMP OUT: Night shelter for the homeless

The Issue

So, last year we set up a petition to open up an empty shop/office during the evenings as a drop in place, this fell on deaf ears so we'd like to put this forward to Barnsley council to find a suitable building to open fully as a night shelter for the homeless and be solely run by volunteers.

Barnsley needs this! It gets the homeless off the streets and out of doorways ..it gives them a safe haven... prevents illness to an extent even the risk of deaths! 

The homeless situation aint going to clear up anytime soon but at least give us the chance to make life that little bit easier all round and help put people on the right paths into seeking more permanent accomadation
