The One Roof Shelter is a year-round shelter offering rough sleepers somewhere to stay overnight.
Launching this September, the shelter will provide a warm and welcoming environment for guests – those who find themselves homeless. Guests can relax and feel safe – spending the evening with volunteers chatting (in many languages), playing games and drinking tea and coffee.
Building on the success of the Winter Night Shelter, One Roof needs people like you to make the Shelter a success. They offer training and there are a range of policies and procedures in place to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing.
The following roles are available:
Evening volunteers 8 – 11pm
Helping in the host venue with putting up beds, putting out bedding and enjoying conversations and games with the guests.
Night volunteers 11pm – 8am
Sleeping overnight in the venue. Two overnight volunteers will take it in turns to stay awake. (A night worker is also on duty to support you through the night).
