Each year we run a Christmas shelter at St Luke's Church Hall, St Luke's Place, Cheltenham. Open to guests 24 hours a day from midday on Christmas Eve until after lunch on 27th December. All completely free.
The shelter is manned by teams of volunteers working in shifts under experienced shift leaders and we serve three hot meals a day, with hot and cold drinks continually on tap. There are a limited number of beds for overnight.
We also provide a chiropody session, showers (with soap, shampoo and towels) as well as television, board games, cards and entertainment. An expanded clothes store is run at 39 Grosvenor Street. there is a present for every guest, with crackers to pull, paper hats and a Christmas tree. We aim to provide companionship, food and warmth to those in need at this special time of year. making it a real Christmas for everyone.
New: Planning for Christmas 2011 is now underway. You can download a Poster (PDF) about the shelter, and a shift form (PDF) to notify us of your shift preferences
