About the Hub

Home About the Hub

We opened our Hub in July 2018

We run a Night Cafe 4 nights a week from our 5 Star Hygiene Rated Kitchen, providing a hot meal and drinks to rough sleepers, sofa surfers, those in hostels and also people in their own home who are at risk of homelessness.
Currently we cook for 50 – 60 people on each of those nights. We also distribute any donated food that we get to local families in various hostels around the borough. This is a life line for many of the families that we help and supports over 450 people per week. We also provide clothing, rucksacks, sleeping bags, blankets, footwear and toiletries

The Hub is open 9.30am – 4pm each day Monday – Friday.

Each Monday we hold our Multi Agency Drop In where four/five Agencies attend to give advice and support to Service Users, those threatened with homelessness and the vulnerable in the community. The services who have attended so far are Housing Advice, DWP, CGL, Regenda Housing, PAUSE, Apex Charitable Trust, Local Councillors, Sexual Health, St Helens Mind, Hairdressing.

All service users receive breakfast, lunch and drinks throughout the day.

On a Tuesday from 9.30am until 12 Noon we run Voice on The Streets our service user led focus group giving service users a safe place where they feel enabled to express the issues they face and the output from this will be fed back to the local statutory services and St Helens Council so that change can be made. Breakfast is served until 11.00am.

On a Wednesday from 9.30am until 12 Noon our women service users meet up for Women And Their Thoughts (WATT) a service user led group focusing on the problems women may face when Homeless. Arts and Crafts and Access to IT are also available. Refreshments are served until 11.30am.

On a Thursday we run Check It Out the opportunity to access a health worker to check height, weight, blood pressure and BMI. We also offer support and access to House Bidding and Job Searches. Our IT team are on hand to help with Basic Maths and English courses, Cook and Taste classes and once a month we have a Red Cross Basic First Aid course available to everyone. All service users receive breakfast, lunch and drinks throughout the day.

On a Friday between 12.30 and 4pm we run a series of activities our clients have chosen to do. This changes on a monthly basis. We have recently undertaken Community Litter Picks, Arts and Craft, Boxercise and Board Games sessions. Lunch and Refreshments are served throughout the day.
