Night outreach rounds
182 people met on the street each monthThree evenings a week, a van, hot coffee and first names, we go to the people who no longer come to anyone.
Some of our neighbours sleep outside. The street wears people down fastest at night, and that is exactly when most services are closed.
The need
Around 200 people sleep rough in our area on any given night. After a few months outside, many stop asking for help at all: the door has been closed on them too often.
What we do
- Outreach rounds every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday night, on foot and by van
- Hot drinks, soup, blankets, hygiene kits and dry socks, the things that keep a body going
- The same volunteers on the same route, so trust can grow week after week
- Orientation to emergency shelter, medical care and our own day services when the person is ready
The impact
182 people met on the street each month, and 31 of them moved into stable housing in 2025 with our follow-up team. We measure success in first names, not in cups of soup.
Giving, three ways
Give for this year, or for the next seventy
A donation feeds the year's work; a monthly pledge lets us plan; a bequest builds the endowment that keeps the house standing when everyone here is gone. All three are tax-deductible at 66% (75% up to €1,000 a year when the gift funds food, care or shelter for people in difficulty), and all three are audited.
- The annual gift
- Funds the groceries, the tutoring, the outreach of the current year.
- The monthly pledge
- Predictable income, the difference between reacting and planning.
- Bequests & corporate patronage
- Received by appointment, with your notary or your board. Discretion is the house style.
