Loose Ends Newbury
A Hot Meal and a Warm Welcome
Loose Ends Newbury is a well established drop-in centre for anyone in our community who may otherwise go without a hot meal. We welcome people who are homeless, lonely or vulnerable as well as those who are simply struggling to make ends meet. We are a registered charity and are run entirely by unpaid volunteers.
As well as providing nutritious food, clothes, and other essentials we offer a safe friendly space where people can socialise. We also liaise with other agencies who may be able to help our clients so that together, we can make a difference to people’s lives.
