Monday drop in

 

Monday Drop-In is a weekly breakfast for people who are homeless or on benefits. It’s a chance to chat, make friends, eat some delicious food, as well as get support.

 

Looking for somewhere to build community?

We believe God welcomes everyone, especially those in need - that’s our ‘why’ for Monday Drop-In!

It’s a great time for people who are homeless or on benefits meet friends and chat over breakfast. They enjoy cereals, teas and coffees, fruit, snacks and freshly made omelettes - one of the big favourites! From time to time our team of volunteers serve bacon or fish finger rolls.

Monday Drop-In is for homeless people or local people who are on benefits, live alone or would like to come and meet friends and join in. (If you’d like to help out, see below.)

What our Drop-in breakfast volunteers say

  •   “We’ve grown to be a circle of friends, a circle of laughter and a circle of trust”

    We’ve had the pleasure, no honour, of serving our homeless community through the summer months.  We have not just fed their bodies but helped with other needs; perhaps it is a portable battery for their phones, a form to be photocopied, a referral to a food bank or community group.

    MARGO - VOLUNTEER

  • Volunteering with Breakfast and a Bag at Westbourne Grove Church twice a week kept me sane through the darkest days of lockdown.

    I have made friends with other volunteers, but I have also built a good rapport with our customers, and I have looked forward to seeing regular guests. The experience has made me think more about homeless and vulnerable people living in my community. 

    I am truly grateful to have had this opportunity not just for the social interaction but the opportunity to give something back and to learn more about the challenges facing my neighbours.
