Welfare Support
Inn Churches works throughout the year to support the guests who have visited our Winter Shelter, as well as other homeless and vulnerable people around Bradford.
We actively pursue finding positive pathways which enable guests to access the services they need and to move them from the street into sustainable independent living. When desired, we try to connect them with local churches or community services to help them integrate as quickly as possible into their new environment.
Our pathways aim to meet the needs of the individual, with a focus on improving health and wellbeing. We work closely with partner agencies and organisations. Support and help available often includes provision of bedding, household equipment, emergency food or funding for white goods and furniture (see below), as well as signposting to services which offer:
- support accessing health services
- assistance with benefit claims or grant applications
- help with housing and tenancy issues
- accessing debt advice
- assistance with training and volunteering opportunities
- volunteering
- help with any other presenting issues.
