Service at 2.30pm at The Salvation Army Hall, Foghamshire, Chippenham

Special Guest:- Major Raelton Gibbs - Homelessness Services Officer, Uk and Northern Ireland

In our affluent consumer society we are all encouraged to think of our dwellings as monetary assets rather than as the heart of family life, as places of comfort and safe refuge, and as key components of our identity. In contrast Homelessness Sunday will focus on some of the injustices that are linked with homelessness.

Homelessness Sunday, now in its 15th year, is a day of ecumenical prayer and action marked by over 2,000 churches and local communities in England, Scotland and Wales. Churches are encouraged to work with local homelessness projects and other bodies to think about the problems of Homelessness in all its forms.

Homelessness Sunday is organised by the Homelessness Sunday Partnership of Housing Justice, Housing Justice Wales and Scottish Churches Housing Action. Homelessness Sunday is supported and endorsed by a wide range of denominations and organisations.
