The Way Ministry Reading
Charity of the Year sponsored by Cream Design
Treating People Facing Homelessness with Dignity and Respect
The Way Ministry, a charity supporting people experiencing homelessness with compassion, dignity and respect, has been named Charity of the Year.
Based at Fairview Community Centre on Great Knollys Street, The Way Ministry provides food every week for around 75 local people experiencing homelessness.
“The team are very kind and helpful and treat every person who comes for food with dignity and respect,” said the person who nominated the charity.
The charity was also praised for its responsive and inclusive approach, particularly its willingness to welcome people from all backgrounds.
Collecting the award on behalf of The Way Ministry, Grace Gomez made an appeal for further support to help the charity expand its work and reach even more people facing homelessness.
This could include the development of night-time shelter provision, enabling the charity to offer vital additional support to people who have nowhere safe to sleep.
The award recognises the dedication of The Way Ministry’s team and volunteers, whose commitment continues to make a meaningful difference to people experiencing homelessness in the local community.
