In the charity's own words
We are a drop in centre serving food to the homeless and vulnerable in the Newbury area. The preparation and serving of meals is our main function but we also provide groceries, tins, toiletries, clothes and bedding to those in need. It is also a place where people can socialise. We work with other organisations and agencies who can offer help and signpost those in need to the relevant groups.
