Firstly... a HUGE thank you to our volunteers - these pamper sessions would not be possible without their commitment.... 
We had a fantastic pamper session today at Streetchurch. 
There were 3 trained hairdressers on hand, a trained beautician, a professional chiropodist, a make up artist & fabulous Andy at the shaving station. 
All services were offered free of charge and not only did they have a good hair cut, shave & so on, the service users received valuable advice sign posting them to secular agencies, as well as general friendship & a listening ear. We do not only sign post to other agencies, but we also make appointments, help with transport & attend with the client if required to provide support & advocacy. 
We are meeting up with a young lady on Wednesday who is homeless to look at some safe accommodation for her - we will keep you posted. 
All the service users left today feeling pampered, valued & had a full tummy thanks to Streetchurch & Kingdom Life (who were on food this week). 
We also managed to give out clothes, handbags & jewellery! 


We also had a guy who is a prolific and violent offender and Class A drug user, engage in a really good chat with one of our team, and he is very interested in going into rehab, so we will be meeting with him to talk about that more, and help him apply and take him when he's ready (added by Julie)
