What the petition asks

We feed and care for the homeless and vulnerable of southend.
We do this solely with volunteers, we are self funded, we feed hot meals. Hot drinks and give night packs for the homeless to take away
We do this from a car park in Clarence rd southend, on a Tuesday and Wednesday 7pm onwards.

We want to give them a shelter and a nice place to eat,
We also have people that are housed, but find it hard, they may suffer from depression.
the community feel and just talking to people have helped. we have had a lot saying what we do is amazing and how greatfull they are. A Place to look forward to meeting others at. A reason to get up and go out.
A place they can even help out in.
Some homeless are bored and just need something to do,
Please help us to help them.
