The People’s Kitchen provides outreach, drop-in, signposting, and food to create a safety net for homeless people in Belfast. Funding provided by Belfast Charitable Society contributed towards the day-to-day running costs of this essential crisis service over their busiest period in winter. The funding provided 800 meals per week from December to March, bought 500 sleeping bags; bought sleeping mats for rough sleepers and emergency blankets during the storm; purchased 38 mobile phones to help individuals get connected with their support services; helped TPK support 67 people find temporary accommodation – during the worst weather; and enabled them to provide transport for those homeless who had been allocated temporary accommodation. Urgent direct support for those in real crisis.
