Ipswich Umbrella
Trust
Ipswich Umbrella Trust is a local charity
providing services for the homeless. It works with people who
are caught up in addictive behaviours, or who have been rejected by
friends and family, or who have no friends in the world. Some
may have been discharged from prison; some from the armed
forces. The charity supports them in practical ways with
food, and personal care. After the practical help comes
advice and guidance on how to find a home, sort out debt and
benefits, search for employment and to gain access to services such
as health care, or drink or drugs rehab.
You may have seen on the local news that with the help of local
churches in Ipswich, they opened night shelters for the homeless
over Christmas.
Recently, the founder of this charity came to speak at a meeting of
local churches and left a list of goods that they need to keep
their work going. The list was so basic, things that we all
have in our homes and use every day.
Kettleburgh PCC has pledged to support the Umbrella Trust and is
arranging a door to door collection of tinned goods on
Wednesday 28th March.
