Enfold Project

The Enfold project operates on a Thursday morning from 9.30 to 11am in the Welcome Centre at the rear of the premises. This project was set up in 2012 to support the homeless and vulnerably housed within our community.  Our guests are offered breakfast and refreshments. We are joined by other professional bodies, such as the local housing department, and we are able to refer or signpost our guests to other local support groups or agencies. Our Parish Nurse is also available at the session. She can give advice and sometimes can help with treatment for minor ailments. For serious or urgent concerns, she can support our clients to seek the services of a GP or any other suitable or appropriate medical help. Some of our guests welcome the opportunity to take a shower and freshen up using our facilities. When possible and appropriate, we are able to offer items such as toiletries and/or modest amounts of food that they may take away to help them in their lodgings.

The Shed Project

We built a community shed on land at the back of the Welcome Centre which was created with support from the UK’s Men’s Shed Project. It is intended to service as a facility for people to engage with crafts, repair work and practical project projects so they can share skills and knowledge. UK Men’s Sheds are community spaces intended particularly for men to connect, converse and create. If you envisage a garden shed; then you get the idea! Our Men’s Shed is not currently active.
