The Sunday Breakfast Club
West London Initiative on Single Homelessness

Service offered
Initially, the centre was open from 9am to midday. An inexpensive cooked breakfast, comprising: sausage, bacon, egg and beans or tomatoes is available with free tea and toast.
Since the begining of July, the opening times have been extended by half an hour and we are monitoring the service with a view to extending it further. As well as enjoying a good breakfast, the clients can relax reading the newspapers provided or chat with the volunteers.
	The service has been successful with a good atmosphere and a regular client group attending. We have served an average of 28 clients/breakfasts each week.

Volunteers
Volunteers may be involved in cooking, serving food or tea, greeting clients at the door, working on reception, tidying away crockery etc. if you would like to help, you can fill in a form on-line or contact the WISH office.
	Volunteers are organised into 6 teams who rotate to provide cover for the service. Each team has a team leader and a member of WISH's management committee is associated with each team who is a liaison for the team leader. The team leaders have formed a working group which will take the service forward. They are looking into extending the services provided to include things such as clothing, showers, healthcare and advice.

Being in one location throughout the year means that we are able to provide some stability to the rough sleepers in that area. WISH sees this as a good
opportunity not only to increase contact with our client group but also as a way of developing links with other organisations and thereby ensure that services to homeless people in West London complement each other.
