Local homelessness organisation, Kip @ Maninplace are in need of friendly people to be a presence in the reception area to greet visitors.

Kip provides assistance to those who find themselves homeless but there is often a short waiting time whilst other people are receiving help. Hosts are therefore needed to greet people in reception, make them a drink and reassure them that they will receive help as soon as possible.

So if you are a friendly non-judgmental person who could ease the wait for the people we support please get in touch.
