Providing support and assistance for the homeless and vulnerable
Grantham & District Poverty Concern Group was formed in 2001 by Ruby Stuckey MBE to support vulnerable members of the local community and its aims continue to be the relief of both poverty and homelessness. It incorporates the Grantham Passage ("The Passage")
We are an independent charity and not affiliated or linked in any way with any other organisations or groups in the Grantham area purporting to help the homeless or vulnerable. Grantham Passage work closely with BHive, Grantham Foodbank, and Change4Lincs as well as SKDC and follow all charitable requirements for safeguarding and supporting those with complex needs.
Our clients deserve compassion, respect and to be treated like any other human being with the understanding that in some cases their issues include behaviour that does not necessarily always conform with societal norms. This includes not being judgmental in regards to lifestyle or background and is a hugely important part of anyone being a volunteer at the Passage. Many of our clients have made significant steps into full time employment, sorting debts and outstanding items and holding down permanent places of residence. We strive to ensure support and regularly check in with clients that have attained self-help and achieved these significant personal victories.
Our support is provided 365 days a year to ensure that there are no days that they are without food or support.
