Wakefield Baptist Church support many of the rough sleepers and others in need in the district, please support them on their sponsored walk in any way you can.
One week until our sponsored walk! 🚶♀️🚶🚶♀️ We're walking 10 miles (with a biscuit break at 3 miles and a cake break at 5 miles!) for Drop-In. Help us to provide food and toiletries for those who come to Drop-In by sponsoring us. See link in the comments below ⬇️
Our twice-a-week Drop-In supports people experiencing rough sleeping, hidden homelessness, and housing instability, alongside those at risk due to poverty, substance use, poor health, and social isolation. We work closely with local partners, including housing support (Riverside), healthcare providers (Bevan Heathcare), substance misuse services (Spectrum), and community organisations, to ensure individuals can access wider support pathways. We provide a holistic, trauma-informed offer that includes hot meals, access to showers and laundry facilities, clothing and food provision, GP drop-in sessions, addiction support access, and health screening. Our approach prioritises dignity, trust, and consistency, enabling engagement with individuals who often do not access statutory services.
