The Winchester Beacon

Very good. Place for homeless.. My daughter took mince pies she'd made and donations of hats... gloves .. Scarves her friend Margaret had knitted & donated .plus bought similar with donations from Sainsburys

Perfect for a place to stay when on street homeless when picked up on Winchester sweep team

Unique coffee shop.

Fantastic organisation

Safe haven. Offering hope and change

As a volunteer I might be biased, but I always find the shelter to feel welcoming, safe and comfortable, and have helped overnight many times without a problem, and I urge others to do the same.I am very happy that such a place exists for those in our town who have fallen on hard times. I am told by some of the guests that it is a world away from some other shelters around the country (of which there are far too few at any rate for the growing number of homeless).I think the shelter does a great job on a shoestring budget of mostly donations (a budget which is about what the council would pay for a single manager). Long may it continue.

Good for wheelchair access

Really committed people doing a great job.
