I’m sitting here writing this note to you feeling a little stunned that it is almost the end of another year.

So much has changed here at St Mary’s House of Welcome in the past 12 months or so. So many wonderful developments and achievements… So many exciting plans for the coming year and beyond. If the time has flown, surely it’s because we have all been so busy!

It goes almost without saying that the overarching cause of homelessness is poverty, but not all people who are poor become homeless.
