General information
Service offered: Wycombe Homeless Connection is a local charity that serves people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in south Buckinghamshire. We believe that every person who is homeless in our community has worth and should have a home no matter what their situation. We provide a range of free services to help people who are homeless as well as to help people avoid homelessness including emergency accommodation. Our support centre offers wide ranging help and advice, community outreach walks to connect people to our services, housing legal clinics where people facing a housing crisis can get specialist support to avoid illegal and unfair eviction, help to access health services. Volunteers run a weekly drop-in for people who are homeless to get hot food, have showers, do laundry and much more. We also open our winter night shelter from January - March for people who would otherwise be sleeping on the street.
Target group: People in South Buckinghamshire who are homeless or worried about losing their home.
Area served: South Buckinghamshire
