A relatively busy Saturday morning at Shekinah. Sixteen people came in for a cooked breakfast, and three more people were supported at the door, two of them being given signposting information for weekday services. Several people had a shower and clean clothing. While most people relaxed, enjoyed being warm and dry, and chatted to each other and to our volunteers, some were very emotional and anxious about their individual situations. We listened, acknowledge their distress and advise as best we could. A big thank you to all who helped today - the team in the photo plus three others who dodged the camera.!
