INN CHURCHES 

Inn Churches has grown from a month-long pilot to a thriving community project with more than 900 volunteers from churches and the wider community in Bradford. We have provided over 5000 beds for homeless and vulnerable people in the Bradford area. In addition we provide practical support for those who need it most in the form of the WHHP programme, starter packs, food and cookery lessons.
