GRANT AWARDED - Lancaster & District Homeless Action Service
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Lancaster and District Homeless Action Service for kitchen equipment and a banner stand. LDHAS is a local charity that provides long-term support and daily essentials to the homeless, impoverished, and vulnerably housed of the Lancaster District.
Including the City of Lancaster and also the bordering towns of Morecambe, Heysham, and Carnforth. They were originally set up to fill the gap in provisions for homeless people in the area, starting out as a drop in, quickly evolving into a day service for the homeless, and they now provide a comprehensive “Hub” with support staff and integrated partner services. They provide food, hygiene products, clothing, and showers every day; when clients have these essential needs met, a Senior Caseworker is then responsible for devising in-depth support packages for clients’ long-term improvement.
The grant provided by the 3R Foundation was used to cover the purchase of crucial equipment for the kitchen in their new centre. With the growing number of people seeking support, it had become apparent that there was a need for essential kitchen items. Due to the high volumes of food they now need to prepare each day they required saucepans, stockpots, kitchen knives, cutlery, baking trays, and a food thermometer.
