The Passage

The outbreak of Coronavirus has completely changed the landscape for The Passage. Our priority is to ensure that homeless people have somewhere safe to stay, are well fed and do not return to the streets. It costs £10 to provide a food parcel to a homeless person. To help raise the funding we need to pay for the Food Hub, we have created a new campaign called Donate Your Dinner. Please take a look at our website: www.passage.org.uk/dinner or call 0207 592 1886 for more information. [Andrew Hollingsworth]
