On one of our first days serving a takeaway in August 2020, three chaps came over who are homeless and have been staying in B&B’s throughout lockdown with no luck of getting permanent accommodation. The first thing they said to us was “Thank you”. In their own words they could not have survived without us during this period – the daily meals were a lifesaver for them. They described their experience of living in a single room with just a toilet and shower, that you can’t cook or store food, so everything is more expensive and generally difficult to manage. They were incredibly grateful to the Swansea Together network and that they could still get a food parcel daily even now in takeaway form. Three people and three thanks yous made our day!
