M&S Winchester

Trinity Winchester is an organisation helping people to improve their lives. Our dedicated project workers provide vital practical and emotional support to over 600 people each year who are experiencing the effects of homelessness or vulnerability including addiction, physical and mental ill health, poverty, social isolation and domestic abuse. We provide advice and information, signposting and referrals, breakfast and a hot lunch, healthcare, a full learning programme and confidence building recreational activities. With food donations, we would like to be able to spend less of our finances on food, and more on providing well rounded services to not only feed individuals, but offer support to change their lives.
