The Friary helps homeless and vulnerable people rebuild their lives in the Nottingham area and last year they saw a big increase in the number of visitors using their drop-in centre in West Bridgford.

In December, carers from Carefound Home Care in West Bridgford gathered much needed items such as long-life food, juice, footwear, and toiletries which they were delighted to donate to the local charity.

Ben Talbot, Chief Executive of The Friary, said:

“Gifts like this are important, as the Friary continues to use its resources to support the homeless and vulnerable in our community.”

“Our drop-in centre continues to offer food parcels and clothing, showers, and breakfasts, as well as well-being and welfare advice to provide a little more aid and assistance to alleviate the hardship the pandemic, and the increase in the cost of living has caused.”

“Please convey thanks to all those who contributed – your kindness and support are appreciated by all at the Friary.”
