Everywhere we go we meet people who say ‘I’ve heard of Open House but don’t really know what you do.” So for anyone in that boat, we’re a local, independent Charity and we run a 24-bed high-support hostel in Three Bridges, 7 move-on houses in the community, a busy drop-in Resource Centre open every weekday, a community outreach team, a schedule of employability and life-skills classes and a food bank in conjunction with the Easter Team. We exist to help those who have fallen through the cracks for whatever reason, and we can only do it because of the generosity of the community that surrounds us. Please bear us and our vital work in mind this autumn and winter – thank you so much, on behalf of everyone who relies on this place.
