Following on from the 2018 Lent Appeal on Homelessness; Capital Mass is hosting a series of networking and training events to help support all team members involved in hosting and delivering Winter Night Shelters. Are you a Parish who is hosting a Winter Night Shelter? Are you volunteering at a Winter Night Shelter and wanting to raise your awareness and skills? Then please join with parishes and volunteers as we raise our understanding and confidence to better be able to support the guests we see each night. This first gathering is on Mental Health and will be delivered by Barney Wells, Director of Enabling Assessment Service London which is a mental health team supporting homeless people across London and the agencies that work with them.
