Directly to Where its Needed
We don’t just feed the homeless, we work with those who need us most, supporting them from the streets ideally into employment and beyond.
But it’s expensive, our annual expenditure is over 2 million. We work very hard to find that money, generating £600,000 ourselves through our Retail Shops and other activities, and a significant amount of the remainder will come from services commissioned by Government and Local Authorities, for which we are very grateful.
However, it’s your support that helps to bridge the financial gap, without your generosity we could not run our emergency winter shelter; or our food kitchen, or offer, medical services at the Park Street Welfare Centre.
To give you some idea on costs:
£15 provides a change of clothing for one person
£30 feeds a person for a week
£250 helps 20 people in finding accommodation, get benefits advice and budgeting
£1,700 is the weekly cost to provide outreach support to 10 people
£4,200 is the weekly cost of providing the range of support services in the Welfare Centre.

Items for our shops
Our local community shops are in need of clothing and shoes (men’s are particularly needed), homewares, books, toys, DVDs, ornaments, decorative items and gifts.
As well as giving local people the opportunity to purchase affordable items, every £2.80 (above the shop operating costs) that we sell your item for, is a potential meal provided to a hungry person at our Welfare Centre.
Items we cannot accept
Furniture
We no longer have our furniture store and cannot accept large items. We may be able to accept small household items on a case-by-case basis. Please call your local NOAH shop for more information.
Food
Non-perishable, bulk, and staple items (dry and canned) are most welcome, but we would be delighted to receive fresh food, be it meat, poultry, fish or vegetables – as long as it is in date!
Clothing
Clean, new and gently used clothing of all kinds are helpful. We are always in need of new underwear/t-shirts and socks, new and gently used jeans and shoes, and professional clothing for those looking for work or re-entering the workforce. In the winter, we are especially in
Toiletries
Items most welcome include razors, toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, hand cream, shampoo*. Many of service users will come through our doors each morning looking to have a wash, clean their teeth and have a shave. Up to 75 people a day will want to have a shower and have a change of clothing.
Linens
Typically, we are in need of new bath towels, hand towels, face cloths, twin-size sheets and blankets, standard-size pillows and pillowcases, and sleeping bags.
