Wednesday 9th April
Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
There is a special community that meets - in an unsuspecting basement - on Tottenham Court Road every Wednesday during the year's colder months.
Orchestrated by the brilliant Brooke and the team (including the super kind Russell) at the American International Church, different community groups come together to cook, build beds, and make a home for an evening. 💚
The C4WS Homeless Project provides warm respite from the streets and a supportive step towards stable accommodation.
Since October, our wonderful GoodGym folk have been setting up dining rooms, assembling camp beds, and finding out the best way to fight with a duvet cover.
And last night was no different ☺️
Our lovely group - of Alex, Auriela, Caitlin, Gosia, Jackie, John, Louise, Siobhan, and Steve - worked with aplomb and speed, and all whilst sharing stories and laughter ♥️
We'll certainly be back as soon as the evenings sharpen and darken 💛
Thank you, everyone, for bringing your energy and time last night!!
Westminster
Help make this the most inclusive marathon ever!
