Activities & Mission

Until Oct 2019 we operated a converted library bus but we now work from a church in Chesterfield and a Christian Bookshop in Matlock. We provide food, friendship, clothing, toiletries, sleeping bags, all with prayer when requested, to the homeless and disadvantaged. The food consists of soup, sandwiches, hot drinks, and provisions donated by Greggs. Our dedicated volunteers lead the sessions.
