“We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a grant by the National Lottery Community Fund in recognition of the important role Worcester Street Cafe plays in supporting our Homeless and Vulnerable friends during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Despite some notable exceptions, Covid has had a dramatic impact on our ability to fundraise and this grant will go some way to filling that gap. The terms of the grant are quite specific so we really still need all our fabulous donors and volunteer cooks, but this will help us procure some kit to improve the food distribution facilities through the winter.
We are really proud that we have been recognised in this way and look forward to being able to use the grant to help support those in Worcester who need it most, but it wouldn’t have been possible without you – the people who continue to support us in all sorts of ways and who make this charity what it is.
So give yourselves a pat on the back and we’ll take a deep breath as we prepare for the cold months of winter, knowing what we do really does make a difference.”

What do we do?
Monday to Thursday from 18.00 to 18.30 we set up tables outside the Salvation Army on Trinity Street,
