Introduction to [Night Shelter] Introduction to [Night Shelter] Project @ GOCoProject @ GOCo

• [Night Shelter] Project @ COCo, is a not-for-profit scheme and was established in 2004.

• We exists to collating & disseminating pertinent information, resources, & contacts, meeting a significant gap between disenfranchised homeless/ rough sleepers who are on the street and not yet engaged with appropriate agencies/bodies to meet their needs.

• To provide assistance on nightshelters and support services plus promote best practices within organisations & to enable / empower small groups / organisations to become more effective and efficient in service delivery to the Homeless/Rough Sleepers in East London and the London borders of Essex; plus associated agencies/bodies.

Avoiding sending any homeless person indiscriminately to any Night Shelter before first making contact with the shelter is promoted. It is appreciated that this is often frustrating and sometimes difficult. However, sending a exhausted homeless person, (perhaps from one side of London to another in hope), only for them to arrive to be told that it is not open, or they are full, potentially has far more ramifications and psychological damage to a person already suffering. We therefore strong discourage such action and promote engaging with nightshelters in the first instance before sending homeless/rough sleepers to any venue's. We also have a designated web page entitled: メ Rough Sleepers | Homelessness | Night Shelters - External Contacts at http://clix.to/nightshelters and http://nightshelters.clix.to.master.com/texis/master/search/?q=&s=SS which focuses and helps in this regard.

In order to engage with people, (especially rough sleepers), who may have visual impairment, (and to

strive to comply with DDA), we are beginning to produce our resource and contact material in other

formats, including audio. This include using audio/visual animation message son our web pages

through SitePal - http://vhost.oddcast.com/vhssplayer.php?

To further provide an enhanced service and to enable service users to engage, we have also provided a ‘live’

online service whereby contact can be made to us whilst at our web site to ask questions and make enquiries. This is reinforced by questionnaires to help us provide the most

effective support needed specific to the needs of an individual, even when not online. This can be viewed at:

With the many years (over a decade) with which I have been involved and led in roles to create provisions for homeless/rough sleepers, I inevitably still continue to receive regularly enquiries for provisions that exist, including nightshelters, and support services. Without this support, homeless will certainly suffer, especially during the winter months.

Such has been the demand that I have created alocation in the web with such facilities at: http://wakeup.to/goconightsheltersmb and http://clix.to/nightshelters

Concept into Reality • 1Concept into Reality • 1

Page 10: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

Added to this is also provided periodic updates of provisions of nightshelters lists both for those who engage with the homeless and which can be handed directly to those who make enquiries of churches & other venues – the latest of which can be viewed at:http://wakeup.to/goconightsheltersmb

Concept into Reality • 2Concept into Reality • 2

Page 11: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

So successful has this been with a real demand over the past year or so, (with hundreds of sources visiting regularly), and benefiting homeless people direct, that this is to be a permanent feature having been asked to continue by such sources as the Resource Information Centre, The Big Issue, Crisis, Shelter, Simon Community, amongst many others who, as you will see from the site are more than supportive and contributing towards the cost of making sure that this positive and direct benefit continues as there is nothing else of its kind that exists at this time. It also supports the ‘Make Poverty History’ campaign as you will see. Homeless people otherwise find themselves arriving at churches and other venues only to be turned away because full, or no longer nightshelters existing, with sources not knowing where to positively redirect them so as to ensure that they have a reasonably good chance of finding shelter, food, and support.

Concept into Reality • 3Concept into Reality • 3

Page 12: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

The provision we have created alleviates this issue significantly – even in recent times, enquiries from homeless people themselves direct, to referral agencies, public libraries and other venues, and local MP’s surgeries are received, with some homeless having arrived desperate for help, and the list enabled the office to find them a location. It is done on a not-for-profit basis and the benefits are solely designed to help homeless/rough sleepers.

Concept into Reality • 4Concept into Reality • 4

Page 13: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

No small part of the reason why this provision does not exist a great deal is the lack of funding. I am able to subsidise to some extent by adverts but this only goes part of the way. Contribution made on to the work of this project is invaluable and used to towards this real and tangible work - benefiting homeless people/rough sleepers.

Concept into Reality • 5Concept into Reality • 5

Page 14: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

Kind contributions are not only be deeplyappreciated but go towards a very good andworthwhile cause benefiting homeless/rough sleepers. In recognition, publicity has been provided to funders and stakeholders on several of the web pages widely viewed by thousands of people each year; plus an acknowledgement on the Message Board; and, given the long association and kind support, an advertisement broadcasting funders and contributors and their services which is added for an entire year at no added cost.

A annual report accounting for both the contributions and resources received and how expended to the benefit of homeless / rough sleepers is provided annually quantify the grant / contribution to stakeholders and made available on our web site, as part of our

transparency policy.

• We need help to keep the web site(s) at [Night Shelter] Project @ GOCo moving forward!

• It takes a lot of time, commitment and money to continue to update this site alone with over 191+ web pages needed material FREE for the asking! This excludes the work of material to download. Service Users can help in three simple and easy ways.

• Firstly, becoming an annual sponsor of our web site with a contribution of only £25.00 – payable before downloading ANY material. To fail to make payment deprives future development for homeless/rough sleepers and penalises other service users – it is imperative that Service Users of our web site(s) help us to help to enable us to help the wider voluntary sector!

Page 66: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

Sponsorship @ [Night Shelter] Project Sponsorship @ [Night Shelter] Project @ GOCo • 2@ GOCo • 2

• Secondly, in addition, or alternatively, Service Users can sponsor a web page, (dedicated to their concern, with logo/image, promoting services or products – linked to a host of search engines and therefore locatable not just by people who specifically visit this site, but by users of the Internet as a whole.

• Thirdly, by spreading the word about our web site(s), to every Organisation/Group staff person they have ever talked to as well as to other homeless/rough sleepers that need help!

Page 67: Night Shelters Project - Strategy Plan 1b

Sponsorship @ [Night Shelter] Project Sponsorship @ [Night Shelter] Project @ GOCo • 3@ GOCo • 3

• In recognition of the direct kind support and to reciprocate the same, acknowledgement of this will be accorded in our extensive publicity material and in Press Releases, plus Web site(s), (of which we have no less than eight), and web pages, (of which there are over 191+ on this site alone), which would provide a excellent high profile and good customer relations for sponsor(s) alone. Added to this will undoubtedly be the excellent publicity/public relations this would create for sponsor(s), coupled with the interest it would continue to create on the part of other sources/companies involved, which, in the past has precipitated business for companies who have supported us and would potentially continue to be of value in terms of future business.

• It cannot be stressed enough that the kind contribution would not only be deeply appreciated but will go towards a very good and worthwhile cause - once again, PLEASE...PLEASE SUPPORT!! Just the help with the provision of the some or all of the sponsorship would make a significant difference and valued contribution long remembered - making this small contribution a longer term investment rather than an expense.

• We can but once more only hope that prospective sponsor(s) will feel able to help in some way in relation to the above in support of this invaluable work, (targeted at new, small, and emerging voluntary/charitable organisations/groups), if only as a goodwill/customer relations exercise. The added benefit to sponsor(s) of this work with the aid of the resources sought would provide advertising for prospective sponsor(s) as well, which would positively promote their business/body.

Outside of Grants and Contributions, (although not occurred so far), any donations received would not be used for this project per say but would be pass onto known voluntary agencies dealing directly with homeless people and treated in a sense, restricted in that these monies will only be used for the direct benefit of the homeless/rough sleepers, in contrast to the

resourcing of this Project overall.
