Hot weather can quickly become extremely dangerous for people living on our streets.
Simple items like bottled water, sun cream, and sun hats can help prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion.
Throughout the summer, our team is supporting people on the streets with essentials and a safe place to cool down during the hottest parts of the day.

Two years ago, Terry* arrived at Barnabus sleeping rough and struggling with the effects of an untreated brain injury.

Today, with the right support, he is rebuilding his life, reconnecting with faith and preparing to move into his own supported home.

Not just surviving, but truly living.

Everyday someone new walks through our doors with nowhere left to go.

They are often in need of a warm meal, a safe space and someone to listen to them.

The next day, they are often still homeless. Next week, they still needed support. Next month, they will be trying to rebuild their life from the ground up.

This is where Barnabus movers make the difference.

Monthly giving gives us the security to still be there after that first meal. Offering consistent support, not just emergency help. Building trust over time and walking alongside someone as they move towards stability.

Sustainable change doesn’t happen in a day. It takes time, understanding, commitment and support from you.

Barnabus movers don’t just respond to crisis, they help change what comes next.

Be part of the journey. Become a Mover.

We were delighted to have the cast of the amazing The Choir of Man visit our music session which is run by the brilliant Nordoff and Robbins . You can hear everyone warming up their voices here.

The cast were wonderful, sharing their love of music with our friends and performed some of the songs from the show in our Beacon Centre!

They also sorted free tickets for our guys to watch the show including a back stage tour! It was his first ever trip to the theatre or one of our team who was once homeless himself. He absolutely loved the experience and wants to see more shows soon. Thank you to the cast and our music session leader Cat for bringing the joy of music to our friends.

This is our superstar, Aidan ⭐

He walked a mile a day for 35 days, with a target of raising £350. Aidan smashed his target and raised an incredible £828!

This will make a huge difference to the lives of the people we support to get off the streets for good and into a home.

To celebrate our 35th birthday, we're asking people to take part in our 35 for 35 challenge, where people can do anything 35 related and invite others to sponsor them!

His dedication and support for Barnabus is truly admirable and we want to say a huge thankyou to him 💛
