Acton Homeless Concern

View IMAG0056.jpg in slide showOn Wednesday, me and my family went to London to drop of about 100 bags that we did to the Acton Homeless Concern. (To see what we put into the bags go to this post: http://govindchahal.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/bags-for-homeless.html )

The Acton Homeless Concern is run by hundreds volunteers. A volunteer who was interviewed said that she started helping here about four years ago and finds that the people she helps are always nice. She said that she always says 'The more you have, the more you think you need'.

The purpose of the charity is to reach out to those who have nothing by giving them a safe friendly place where they'll be warmly welcomed as guests and offered practical help. Acton Homeless Concern started in 1998when the Sacred Hearts Community responded to those that came to the Church door looking for food, clothing, friendship and advice.
