Ipswich Winter Night Shelter

Leading legal advice firm Prettys is committed to local communities and our staff support and participate in many projects and activities, most recently for Ipswich Winter Night Shelter. From 2nd December 2015 to 13th March 2016, Ipswich Winter Night Shelter was held at several churches in the Ipswich area offering food, shelter, security and company to those who were homeless this winter. The organisation has been running for six years now and has gained a fantastic reputation for its great work with the homeless, which focuses on finding a long-term solution to the issues faced by each individual during their time at the shelter.

Family law firm Prettys sponsored the shelter and four members of Prettys team (Penny, Josie, Lyndsey and Melissa) volunteered their time to participate in the morning, evening or overnight shifts, after having initial training at the beginning of November. They found volunteering at the shelter to be a great experience and would highly recommend people to get involved next winter and/or get involved with the other wonderful charitable organisations in Ipswich and Suffolk that support the homeless all year round.

Thanks to the Ipswich Winter Night Shelter, 3 guests staying at the shelter have now found themselves their own accommodation.
