Northampton Borough Council calls on volunteers for homeless shelter

Northampton Borough Council is appealing for volunteers to help with its all-weather Winter Shelter.

It opened its doors on 14 February to provide a safe and warm place for rough sleepers in the city.

Though the council have said no experience is necessary, volunteers will need to serve hot food and refreshments and talk to the homeless to offer them support and encouragement.

The shelter will continue to operate from the Hope Centre in Oasis House between 9pm until 7am.
