Keep our homeless bus shelter open
Beschermde donatie
Norwich Homeless Support runs a ten bed converted coach housing the homeless of Norwich.
Just in the last few months we have rehoused 7 people who have come on to the bus and now rehoused in local hostels with one who now has his own room in a shared property and back working full time.
We also run a community food bank which is a vital service for those who need emergency food parcels.
We have proven the bus to work but with winter here our furniture sales have slowed down and we really need some funding in to least cover us for the next few months so we can keep the bus running.
I have put our costs below, all money is spent on keeping our services running.

Unit & storage rent: £500 this is where our bus is parked and also our storage container.
Telephone & internet system: £20 per month. This is for our landline number for people to get in touch with us.
Petrol: £100 a month to help with volunteers cars.
Waste collection: £20 a month
Portaloo: £25 a week plus vat - we need to get one down yard so we have two toilets on site.
Insurance: £110 a month.
Other costs: around £300 monthly this could be things like topping up first aid box, topping up equipment on the bus or carrying out dbs checks.
These are our main costs we need to cover every month just to run if you could please make a donation and share.
