Slough Outreach – Homeless Project is a people’s initiative to help the homeless and vulnerable people in Slough, Windsor, and Maidenhead.
We provide hot meals, warm clothes, advocacy support to those struggling with homelessness, complex needs and the less fortunate people in our community.
We can provide access to medical care support and signpost people to services offered by the local authority and other great voluntary groups and organisations in the area.
Our volunteers can escort our service users to attend their appointments and provide Advocacy support Service – Professional one to one Independent Advocacy to support someone with a specific issue or issues.
Advocacy in Slough is a service provided by independent organisations, working in partnership to provide a range of independent advocacy services to people of Slough.

The Story of Slough Outreach
After some research & training to see if the need existed, this included taking part in a ‘Sleep-Out’ to raise money for night shelter with a local charity and the MP of Slough, Tan Dhesi, we launched our project on Monday 18th December 2017 with the help of a group of kind compassionate volunteers, serving hot meals and providing warm clothes to the homeless and vulnerable in Slough and Windsor. Within weeks we had successfully coordinated a 7day homeless outreach by promoting and networking with other groups, charities to make sure a hot meal is made available for the homeless and vulnerable people in our society, serving Slough & some evenings in Windsor.
Who?
We are passionate volunteers, wanting to change the lives of those the society has forgotten by providing hot food, warm clothes and much-needed care & support with love.
Since starting our outreach in Slough and Windsor, we have come in contact with lots of kind and charitable people with such good hearts it’s so nice to see there are so many selfless volunteers wanting to get involved to serve humanity
Where?
We are currently working on the streets of Slough and Windsor in Berkshire and we occasionally visit other group sessions as advocates and are very much based in the community.
