We are Gillingham Street Angels that started off supplying a hot meal, hot beverage, clean fresh clothing, sleeping bags, and tents to our street homeless within our community, we located and supported as many of our street homeless community as possible. It started with a handful of people which grew into 10's, 20's, 30's of people that we were supporting only to discover that some of these people were families living in poverty, the number just kept on and still keeps on growing, from what started as just a few has now become 10,000+ service users through our foodbank every month, we now offer many services which are all free to our community and now further afield to help reduce poverty and homelessness.
All of our ability to get where we are now is due to the amazing team we have, our most dedicated and the best teams of volunteers, our donors and supporters from far and wide, we cannot thank them all enough, it has not been easy at any stage of the journey, we have encountered many giant obstacles that many would of more than likely thrown in the towel and given up because of the complexity of the obstacles, but not our team, every single person had that pure desire, enthusiasm and determination to get through whatever got in the way, even our most vulnerable volunteers that we had to initially tell to stay at home and not to come into work for their protection were incredibly eager to get back into the thick of things and continue to give their very valued support. It is a never-ending journey that we will endeavor to continue for many years to come.
