I volunteered at Sanctuary not knowing what I was letting myself in for, but I have been truly blessed by the experience. Meeting the guests and listening to some of their stories has changed my view of homelessness and made me realise it could happen to anyone. It has been a privilege to help in the small way I was able to and I know there has been a lot more work going on in putting people in touch with the right help they need. Thank you to all who have worked so hard in organising and running this very worthwhile project.

I have thoroughly enjoyed and been humbled by serving with the Sanctuary volunteers. It’s been great to work with members of other Churches Together. It’s been very satisfying, serving guests that have been so grateful, polite and friendly

I have just arrived home from my 4th shift at Gravesham Sanctuary with mixed emotions of sadness and joy. Sadness to see and listen to our guests stories, but joy of what can be done to help them and sharing a little humour as well. Listening to dear Lorna constantly on the phone finding accommodation and sorting out financial problems for these dear souls is a joy. Obviously, a bonus working with my own Pastor Matthew who manages this wonderful place. I would highly recommend anyone to volunteer here for a few hours a week.
