Newbury Soup Kitchen was opened in January 2017 by Meryl Praill who wanted to feed the homeless and vulnerable in Newbury Berkshire on a day they were not being catered for by other charities. We are proactive not reactive. Our ethos is to treat everyone equally, feed them sit and chat, listen in a non judgemental way. We lend a listening ear, laugh and try to, for two hours take some of the woes of homelessness away. We have worked to find employment, mentor and support our clients. A friendly welcoming armosphere. All welcome.
