Service Description
The Drop-In is still open at the usual times despite coronavirus, with extra phone support available too.
**********************************
An informal drop-in for those who are homeless and those struggling with addiction.
Donations of warm clothing are accepted over the winter months. Throughout the year, donations of tents, sleeping bags and toiletries are welcome.
Due to storage space and staff availability to receive items, it is politely requested that people contact the Salvation Army prior to dropping off donations.
Key functions & activities offered
The drop in provides:
- A safe place and a friendly face
- Helpful items such as clothes, bedding and tents
- Food and drinks
The Salvation Army also wants to give a hand up and not just a hand out and so also provides:
- One-to-one support to help people make steps towards a life that is safer, healthier and happier
Bridges Drop-in works in collaboration with Oxfordshire Adult Learning, Ruskin College and Aspire to provide opportunities for a wide range of face to face and online courses through "Community learning led by the community".
The courses are often bespoke covering subjects such as:
- Introduction to Maths
- Introduction to English
- Mental health, cooking and wellbeing
