NOAH Welfare Centre

The Welfare Centre is open 365 days a year from 9.00am – 4.00pm weekdays and 10.00am – 2.00pm at weekends.

Each day a free hot meal is available for rough sleepers between 12.00pm – 2.00pm via either a takeaway or in the dining room. On Fridays a community meal in the dining room is available to every NOAH client from 12.00pm – 2.00pm. We open again between 7.00pm – 7.45pm Tuesday and Thursday evenings, to provide an evening meal.

The Centre provides a safe environment where people can come and discuss their problems and get advice about a range of issues ranging across housing, benefits, EUSS, health, legal support, training and employment. Everybody who comes to the Centre completes a full registration with staff so that we can get to know them better. This helps us understand the circumstances involved and from there we can give high-quality bespoke advice, and offer a personal support plan tailored to each individual’s needs.
