We had anticipated this coming season might have seen a return to the overnight shelters, but we have recently heard from Glass Door that they will not be running the Richmond circuit this year, having to focus their limited resources and services in three specific areas where the need is greatest. They hope to be able to resume the circuit here in future years should finances allow and, in the meantime, their caseworkers are supporting guests at the Vineyard five days a week.
The Soup Kitchen at St John the Divine will run again on largely the same basis as last year, i.e. an outdoor takeaway service, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 5.00-6.00pm, between 2nd November and 27th April.
