Week 12 - The Foxton Centre

Late one this / last week.  I've had this one on my radar for a few weeks and this has been the first chance I have to use it.  The Foxton Centre are a Christian charity based near me in Preston and provide help, support and hot meals to homeless people in the city.  Among other things, in 2014 they helped:

• 72 homeless people find accommodation,
• 21 young people move away from the risk of being sexually exploited,
• 176 vulnerable adults with one-to-one support,
• 7 women to leave street work.

They also served over 8000 meals to vulnerable adults and their families including a Christmas dinner for 65 people.

I find it hard to believe that in a wealthy country as ours we still have people sleeping rough so I whole-heartedly support any charity which encourages and helps others to turn their lives around in this way.
