Grantham Ark, a Grantham-based charity aimed at alleviating homelessness in the town, is holding its AGM next week and is keen to see local people get involved.
The AGM is on Wednesday 4th May at 7.30pm in St Wulfram’s church and is open to anyone who would like to know more about the charity and its work or anyone who would be interested in becoming a trustee.
Formed in March 2020 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, Grantham Ark has the long-term aim of providing year-round temporary emergency accommodation for street homeless people.
Its aim is to create safe and suitable accommodation within the town centre, ideally by installing 8-10 pods on suitable land. Each pod will have a bedroom with a toilet and wash basin and be powered by a solar panel. A separate portacabin to provide showers, toilets, cooking facilities and a dining area with space to socialise and meet with support workers.
Spearheaded by St Wulfram’s church, Grantham Ark comprises stakeholders from South Kesteven District Council, Churches Together in Grantham, Grantham Foodbank and Grantham & District Poverty Concern.
