Winter Shelter

We have been able to continue to support the Together in Barnet initiative in a different way this year. 

FRS is just one institution among a wonderful community of synagogues and churches that work to give shelter to the homeless over the winter months.

Although this year it was not possible to host our guests in the usual way by providing shelter, we were able to supply a hot meal and breakfast daily to the hotel in Barnet, where they were staying in separate rooms to keep safe and Covid free.  

Due to the restrictions of social distancing and rates of infection at the time, we decided to ask restaurants to get involved and provide a healthy, substantial meal for a discounted price. They all agreed and some even donated theirs.  

One of our volunteers made the deliveries and were met at the venue by a representative from Together in Barnet. Guests were called down one by one to collect their food.  

In order to finance the initative, we put an appeal out to our members asking for donations of £15 per head per guest. With your generosity, along with the discounts from our suppliers and other donations, we have some money left over for the following cycle.
