Leamington Night Shelter

Leamington Night Shelter provides shelter and food two nights each week for the homeless and vulnerable. Their aim is to provide a safe haven where clients feel they can be in a relaxed atmosphere and are able to ask for any help where necessary.

Due to the Night Shelter client group representing a population with a higher than average incidence of Hepatitus B infection, Leamington Night Shelter advise all volunteers to receive a vaccination against Hepatitius B as an additional precaution.
