Yesterday, we were really lucky to have Jack from SMART visit our Sunday Morning worship and talk about all the amazing things this charity does!

Street Relief is our winter response to homelessness in Bedford. It focuses on what people need the most during the coldest months: a warm place to be during the day, day beds to rest and recover, hot meals, showers and laundry, outreach on the streets, and practical housing and support services that help people move forward.

None of this happens without people coming together.
Thank you to our SMART staff and volunteers who show up every day with care and compassion, to everyone who has donated food and essentials, and to our donors whose generosity keeps the doors open and the support going. You are making a real difference, day after day.

Winter is not over yet, and neither is Street Relief.
If you are able to help, please consider setting up a monthly donation. A regular gift gives us stability and helps ensure that support is there whenever someone needs it.

💙 Set up a monthly donation here:

Please remember to add Gift Aid when you donate. It allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give, at no extra cost to you.
