Do you have experience of
working with people with alcohol and other drug problems?
We are looking for someone who would enjoy working with homeless people
with alcohol and other drug problems (primarily alcohol related). You would be
working at the Nightshelter with clients individually or in small groups,
encouraging engagement, and enhancing motivation to address their difficulties,
and signposting them on to appropriate agencies. You will need experience in
this field, and will be meeting and working with a varied client group for 2–3
hours per week in the morning. For further details, or if you would like to
learn more about our work, please telephone the office on 01962 862050 (9.00
am–2.00 pm) or see www.wcns.org.uk or Email:

Small modern TV, about 19” or 22” with a flat screen – we are
on the lookout should anyone have a spare one?
Keen gardeners wanted – we have very generously been offered a
largish allotment outside Winchester and before we agree to take it on we will
need someone keen to assist in running it. We foresee residents working on the
allotment to provide fresh vegetables for the Nightshelter. It would probably involve one or two days a
week during the summer and one day a week for the rest of the year. Initially
it would be unpaid, but we hope to source funding for this project.
Sunday afternoon opening – We hope to open the Nightshelter earlier
on Sunday afternoons from 4 pm when most of the shops and the Discovery Centre
are shut. We will need additional volunteers to assist our paid members of
staff, from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm on Sunday afternoons. As always we need other
volunteers at all times of day or night, so please do make contact if you wish
to learn more about our work.
With very many thanks for your help and support,
Michèle Price
