Two storey shelter for the homeless

This project included the demolition of a Second World War air raid shelter which had reached the end of its useful life. On the same site and attached to the existing Church a new two storey shelter for the homeless was created.

The shelter provided first floor overnight accommodation to sleep 10 people with a fully equipped kitchen, showers and WCs. At ground floor the building adjoins the west end gable of the grade 2 listed St. John's Church and extends to form community facilities for the Church.

The project was procured under a partnering agreement. It was jointly funded between the Street Life Trust Ltd and the Church.
