Wish Newsletter Vol 4, #2
West London Initiative on Single Homelessness

Everyone who works for WISH is a volunteer and we rely entirely on your combined efforts, commitment and, above all, enthusiasm to provide our services helping the needy people of West London

Our main activity in the past has been the Christmas Roof providing shelter, food, clothing, advice and simple hospitality to our guests over the Christmas and New Year period. As you can imagine, such an effort requires a lot of bodies, around 400 last time, and a wide range of skills and experience.

As we begin detailed planning of the 2000/2001 Roof, and look to developing other services to run during the year, we realise we need to consolidate our existing volunteer base and also to expand it both in terms of numbers and skills.

To do this we propose to hold an open meeting on 19th August at 5:00p.m. for all past and potential volunteers The main topics for presentation and discussion will be:

• a brief outline of our history;
• the structure of WISH including putting faces to names – or vice versa;
• plans for the future: the Roof, the outreach service, an all night café etc.;
• How you can influence those plans through yours ideas and/or actions.
