Swindon Filling Station

homeless man

Several members of Kainos Christian Fellowship support the Filling Station, a weekly initiative to help the homeless in Swindon that has been running for many years.

 

It runs from Queenstown Car Park, adjacent to the Carfax NHS Medical Centre Tuesdays and Thursdays 7pm - 8pm.

 

A team serve soup, hot and cold drinks, hotdogs, and a variety of cakes and biscuits, while building relationships an just taking to the people who come along.  In addition to this the team are able to hand out to each attendee a ‘care package’ which contains a variety of basic essentials, from toothbrushes to blankets, that help them get through the week.  This service is supported by local homeless housing centres, such as Threshold Housing, who provide us with outreach workers that can act as a connection and valuable source of information to the support systems that exist for the homeless within Swindon. 

Swindon Borough Council website has information too.
