Hitting home: Maggie Allder on a Winchester project

‘We aim to offer friendship and a safe place to live.’

When Winchester Friends bought a beautiful old building to serve as their Meeting house in 1974, it was with two purposes in mind: to house vulnerable people, and a place for Quakers to meet. The house still serves both purposes today. As well as a small flat for a warden, we have seven bedsits for single people in grave risk of homelessness.
