🥳 Just 4 days to go! 🥳

Tonight, we'd like to give a shout-out to our fantastic traders who'll be joining us at Arc in the Park with their artisan goodies and sweet treats!

Many of these wonderful businesses are amazing supporters of our work here at Arc, so it was only natural to have them involved. We hope there'll be something for everyone!

Some of them are even taking part in the Sleep Out too. 💙🙏

🥳 Just 5 days to go! 🥳

Arc in the Park has been created to celebrate our 50th anniversary and bring people together in a meaningful and engaging way. 🫶

Alongside being a fun day, the event is also designed to be educational, helping to raise awareness of the realities of homelessness locally and encouraging collective action to drive local change. It also highlights the fantastic work taking place across Somerset to support those affected by homelessness.

We’re delighted to be joined by some of our amazing community partners, who will be with us on the day to share information, offer support, and showcase the incredible work happening locally.

The Nelson Trust On Your Bike - Taunton Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service

See you there as we come together to help create positive change 💙

Tonight, as we mark the end of Volunteers' Week , we wanted to share an update on our allotment project and give a huge shout-out to our amazing volunteers Chantal, Chris, Josh, Charlie and Mike. 🌱

They have worked incredibly hard over the past few months to transform this project, and their enthusiasm and commitment have made a real difference. 🙏

"Volunteering for Arc is such a rewarding way to help others in my local community. I've met great people, learnt loads, and best of all, every bit of effort I give brings a little hope and kindness to someone who really needs it." 💙

HUGE thank you to volunteer Vickie, who not only provides our clients with a free counselling service, but also helps out at our fundraising events. We really couldn't do it without people like you! 🙏

Tonight, during Volunteers' Week we’d like to say a huge thank you to Josh from the Rapid Relief Team UK for donating 100 snack packs for the volunteers supporting our Arc in the Park event next Saturday. 🙏

Rapid Relief Team UK are a fantastic group of people who give their time to support others and have been valued supporters of our Big Sleep Out for many years. 🌟

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary and prepare for our 12th Big Sleep Out, we’re incredibly grateful for their continued support.

Thank you for helping us look after our volunteers, you make such a difference in the community. 💙

Today, during Volunteers' Week we're highlighting our fantastic food collectors! 🙌🍎

Each week, we receive surplus food donations from local supermarkets and restaurants. On average, there are 10–12 collections weekly, and without amazing volunteers like Warren, our clients wouldn't benefit from the wide selection of food we receive. 🛒💚

A weekly food collection can take around 1 hour of a volunteer's time, but it is so invaluable. ⏰

If you're interested in becoming a food collector, get in touch! 📩
