"I couldn't help but wonder what I had done to deserve this"

Rebuilding lives, one night at a time

Winchester Churches Nightshelter is open 365 days a year and provides accommodation, food and vital support services to help break the cycle of homelessness and enable our residents to rebuild their lives.

We offer much more than just a bed for the night; our aim is to create a safe, caring temporary home for our residents, and give support when it’s needed most. Our provision includes comfortable accommodation, a nutritious menu and wide-ranging services to restore self-esteem, develop skills, and support people back into long-term accommodation and independent living.

Our vision is to transform lives, inspire hope and end homelessness.

Last year we…

Gave 116 people a bed

Served 12,410 meals to our residents

Provided 297 hours of free counselling and psychotherapy

Helped 80 people to successfully move on to planned accommodation

We’re winners of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service

A big thank you to Benjamin, Emily and Duncan from the @HatFair who thoughtfully dropped by today to... donate leftover supplies from the weekend.

Thank you so much for thinking of our residents #hatfair.
