30th anniversary of the York Road Project in Woking

Motion Text

That this House congratulates York Road Project in Woking on marking 30 years since its founding as Woking Winter Watch in 1995; notes that it began when concerned local churchgoers came together to provide warmth, food and emergency relief to those sleeping rough during the winter months; recognises how the project has grown into a vital local charity offering emergency accommodation and support to help people rebuild their lives; and pays tribute to York Road Project’s staff, volunteers and supporters who for three decades have offered a bed, a base and their backing to people experiencing homelessness in Woking, helping thousands to find a place to call home.
