Warmth, nourishment and compassion in the coldest months

 

Bexley Winter Shelter is a registered charity that operates, January to March, nightly. Although it exists to provide overnight accommodation, hot meals, help and support for those affected by homelessness in the Borough of Bexley, it is in no way affiliated with the local authority. Anyone wishing to access the Shelter must first attend a short assessment to ensure it is able to meet their needs.

More about the Winter Shelter   

We are currently preparing for the 2025 run starting 3rd January and finishing 30th March and need both General and Cook Volunteers. If you feel able to give your time and care to our guests, please complete our Application Form. In the meantime, please contact Streetlink if you see or are someone who is sleeping rough. See their guide here.
