Local MP Caroline Dinenage is backing a brand new project to tackle homelessness in the Gosport area.
The 'Heart for Homeless' initiative is being led by the local Christian group, Churches Together in Gosport, and aims to offer care and support for vulnerable people who or are at risk of homelessness. The organisation is now looking for volunteers to fulfil a number of roles including committee membership, activity leaders and employment advisors.
Speaking in support of the project, Caroline said:
"I am delighted to be supporting this project which will help to ensure that vulnerable people in Gosport do not feel cut off from their community. By offering emotional support, advice on entering employment and access to leisure activities, I am confident that this initiative will help to rebuild the confidence of those who fall on hard times.
I would urge anyone thinking of registering to become a volunteer for this project to sign up and help make a real difference in our local community."
The initiative will be officially launched at churches across Gosport on Sunday 11th May. For more information, please visit: www.together.ourchurchweb.org.uk/gosport/events.
