Winter can be the toughest time for our homeless community, putting lives at risk and increasing a sense of isolation.  Following the success of the last two years providing this service, we are planning the 2025/2026 Bedford Winter Night Shelter to offer a vital place for our homeless community to find a warm, safe place to stay.

This role is vital to the success of the Winter Night Shelter. You will organise and lead the incredible teams of volunteers to provide the service.  The volunteer teams will make meals, serve meals, clean and tidy, and help guests to access their sleeping arrangements for the night, as well as offer a space for friendship and community. Throughout the daytime, you will ensure the smooth running of the building and facilities needed to make the shifts run as smoothly as possible.   You will provide the primary contact to all volunteers, and will be a fundamental link between the shift teams and Outreach team who support the guests through the day.

‘I would be on the streets if this wasn’t here. I’ve not been in this situation before. Everyone has been so helpful; the support is spot on. I have played games and people talk to me. People here try to help you feel the best you can out of a bad situation’. John (winter night shelter guest)
