Winter Watch provides homeless and roofless people with company, food, clothing, showers, health and housing information, and sessions by hairdressers and chiropodists. The project runs annually during the coldest months of the year at the Urban Restore Centre. Between January and March Winter Watch provides a much needed service for 60-90 people per night.
Over 100 volunteers are involved in making meals, staffing the café and providing company and conversation for all who attend. Food and finance is provided by many individuals, more than 80 churches and 50 schools, a number of local businesses and Bolton Council.
Winter Watch guests are supported throughout the year by our other projects (Street Life, Eve's Space, and Reach Out) and the various group activities we run.
Winter Watch seeks to raise the awareness of issues faced by homeless people in Bolton by speaking in churches and schools. We also provide opportunities for groups to visit the Urban Restore Centre to see what we do.
