Bournemouth
Faithworks runs a variety of projects in Bournemouth helping people make positive moves away from homelessness. We also have excellent links with the Trussell Trust Foodbanks in Bournemouth, and are now providing Community Money Advice support at each of those hubs.
Help and support across Bournemouth
Half-time, Helpline and Connection Stations
Half-time is open for hour long appointments for those trying to get off the streets. Support includes access to hot showers, lockers, snacks, toiletries, phone charging and the opportunity to talk through issues. We work closely with the St Mungo’s team. To book an appointment please call the Helpline on the number below.
Our Helpline is open Monday – Friday, 10am – 12pm (except bank holidays): 07842 174241
We link up with other agencies to provide Connection Stations at safe places for those affected by homelessness.

The Storehouse
When people move out of emergency accommodation, their new home is often bare. So, our Storehouse collects basic good quality donated furniture and delivers it to individuals and families referred to us by BCP Council or other local partners.
We also provide new white goods such as microwaves, kitchen packs and fridges, so that individuals can make and store their own food.
CMA at Bournemouth Foodbanks
We love working with our friends at Bournemouth Foodbank (run by Trussell Trust). Faithworks CMA (Community Money Advice) team have trained volunteer Budget Coaches and Debt Advisors to work in each of the Bournemouth Foodbank hubs (see links below).
When you arrive at the Foodbank, if you need help with your finances, ask to see a CMA volunteer.
