Question 1

What services does the MCWS provide?

Accepted Answer

The MCWS offers overnight accommodation, meals, and hospitality afternoons for people who cannot be supported by the Maidstone Borough Council, especially at short notice, or for those with no recourse to public funds. They also serve hot drinks and snacks and register guests for evening meals and overnight accommodation when required.

Question 2

What are some of the factors behind homelessness that the MCWS addresses?

Accepted Answer

The MCWS recognizes that there are many factors behind homelessness, including unemployment, national austerity, family and relationship breakdowns, mental or physical illness, addiction and/or substance misuse, migration, poverty and debt, the struggle to return to independence after prison or care, and acute shortages of affordable housing.

Question 3

How does the MCWS operate and who supports it?

Accepted Answer

The MCWS has been overwhelmed with the support it has received from local churches, volunteers (both secular and non-secular), and funders/donors. Without this support, the MCWS would not have been able to open its doors each winter.
