The Capuchin Day Centre FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE
 
Bro. Kevin needs financial help to provide meals and day care facilities for people who are homeless or in need, and food parcels for those on the poverty threshold.
 Since the collapse of the Banks in 2008 our numbers have more than doubled. Each day we now provide 200 breakfasts with 300 extra on a Wednesday. Our dinner service has increased and is seldom less that 450 with a couple of days in the week exceeding 500. The increase in child poverty is very evident here in the Day Centre and one day recently we had 27 children attending the dinner service. We prioritise the needs of rough sleepers and the increased energy and water charges for the shower facilities together with the provision of new underwear, personal hygiene products etc. has all added to our expenses. Despite trying to cope with the above, the greatest challenge both physically and financially is to cope with the increased number of people who need Food Parcels. Demand has risen with each new phase of unemployment and since October, we have 1,250 people calling each week – an increase of 250. We have not received an increase in our government funding since 2007 so we need your help more than ever.
