CITY OF SANCTUARY
CITY OF SANCTUARY Can you help with the emergency night shelter in Burngreave: Over the last 4 and a half months an emergency night shelter has provided 147 nights accommodation in total for 15 men and 4 women. The people using the shelter are destitute exiles (refused asylum seekers); they have no access to Sheffield's homeless service provision. Without the shelter many would have been sleeping rough. The night shelter is only made possible by people volunteering to stay over for one night (usually every other week or once a month). For more information contact Jeff Kirby (tel 07931355071) [sheffjeff@beeb.net]
