Since 2008, PATCH has been giving free food parcels, clothing and household items to people in financial crisis in Pembrokeshire. We work closely with referral agencies to help those that are experiencing hardship through, for example, a delay in benefits, fire, theft and escaping emergency situations. HOW DOES IT WORK? Access to items is by referral. When a referral agent issues a client with one of our vouchers, they can bring it in to any of the Basics Bank venues to exchange it for up to 5 days of food for the people specified on the voucher. This will be a mix of tinned, boxed and packets of food. Clothing, Household items, (pots pan, bedding etc.) and/or toiletries

The Rough Sleeping Pathway in Portsmouth is a way that The Society of St James (SSJ) and Portsmouth City Council helps people who are homeless, rough sleeping, or at risk of homelessness. It has two temporary hostels that give different kinds of tailored support to over 80 people. SSJ believes that everyone has a fundamental human right to a safe home and works to end homelessness. The hostels are set up in different buildings to provide support that meets the different needs and preferences of the people staying there. The goal of these temporary homes is to help people gain life skills and access services so they can prepare for independence and move on to more permanent home . SSJ understands that the system for housing people can be "broken" so we walk beside people to navigate it. Providing this kind of support shows a moral responsibility to ensure everyone has a safe and secure place to live. The Rough Sleeping Pathway's size, helping over 80 people, shows a significant effort to tackle homelessness in Portsmouth.
