Selsdon Baptist Church is one of the host churches for the Croydon Churches Floating Shelter.

During the winter months, on one night each week Selsdon Baptist Church is the venue for the floating shelter, which provides a roof and bed and hot meals for those who would otherwise be on the street.

Each week we need two volunteers to set up the hall, two volunteers to cook the meals, two volunteers to prepare sandwiches, and so on.

The volunteers all agree that helping at the shelter is tremendously enjoyable and fulfils a significant need.

The shelter provides a particularly useful service to those being served, by providing a fixed location each week, which helps people connect with social services and other support organisations.

If you can help in this form of service, get in touch through the church office.

This scheme operates through the winter, and fourteen churches provide their halls as a shelter for homeless people, one on each night of the week.

Listen to an interview with Hilary Howard, our shelter coordinator, explaining more about the shelter.

Please join us in this prayer for the homeless:
