Quantas Helps the Homeless in Bedford
Thanks to the generous donation of blankets, crockery and cutlery, the homeless in Bedford are being helped by the airline Quantas. Visitors to the Prebend Day Centre will be enjoying their lunches served using the Quantas crockery and cutlery. They will also benefit from the warmth of the blankets when having to spend a night outside. The Kings Arms Night Shelter greatly appreciate the gift of the blankets for their service users as expressed by one of the staff, Steve Westwood "Thank you very much for dropping off the blankets from Quantas on Wednesday. We really appreciate this support and wanted to extend our thanks and appreciation. Each year we support 600 homeless and disadvantaged clients through our Nightshelter, supported accommodation, rough sleeper outreach and skills training courses. We look forward to passing the blankets on to our clients in need, both through our Nightshelter and Move on Accommodadtion."
