Guests is the right term. 2200 across 9 centres in London. Includes "sofa-surfers" as well as rough sleepers, plus some guests travel in to London to stay with uswe serve 35,000 meals & operate services by doctors, dentists, legal advisors & others.

That's fantasticThat must cost the charity a fortune to do and the logistics of serving 35,000 meals is nigh on impossible to comprehend.
The fact you are able, over Christmas, to rehouse a number of people makes it all the more amazing.
Well done you.

I just manage volunteers & keep it calm and safe (we shift leaders get training on this)The really amazing bit is the 5000 volunteers that help over the 8 days we are open. We get lots of corporate donations for food etc & get a lot of cash donations too - we couldn't do it without either of these.
