Trinity Winchester receives £10,000 from Lane Clark & Peacock
We are extremely grateful to receive £10,000 from the LCP Foundation to support our emergency work during the Coronavirus Health Crisis.
Lane Clark & Peacock are fantastic supporters of Trinity! In addition to funding us through the LCP Foundation, LCP’s staff volunteer in our kitchen, donate IT equipment, raise money individually which is matched by the company, help to maintain our day centre and garden and mentor clients in our job clubs to get back into employment.
We can’t wait to welcome the team back, after lockdown ends, and continue our great work together.
Thank You.
Geoff’s Story Continued
With support from his Trinity Key Worker, Geoff was able to move into his new flat earlier than the projected date in July. Trinity staff managed to find him some furniture and a TV to make it into a real home.
Even better news – Geoff will be returning to work on a construction site next Monday, after losing his job at the start of lockdown. He’ll be wearing the hard hat and work trousers that Trinity brought him for his first day.
Good luck in your new job Geoff!
June’s Story
June has been receiving support to manage her finances and to step into the digital world, she has upgraded her phone and is having internet installed at home.
In the meantime she has accessed Trinity’s IT room and has been setting up an online account to have her groceries delivered to her home.
June is loving her new found independence.
Geoff’s Story
Shortly after the coronavirus lockdown began, Geoff lost his job and then his flat. He has been rough sleeping for several weeks, having to adapt and shelter himself in the demanding and risky world as it currently is. To support him through this time, Geoff has been coming into Trinity every day for food, washing, and personal development. It has been incredible to see Geoff remain so positive and resilient during what would be a life changing and demoralising time for so many others. There have been times when Geoff has clearly been stressed and tested, but he has kept his composure, showing true strength in the face of adversity.
As a result of his efforts, and with the support of Trinity staff and Winchester City Council, Geoff has successfully accepted a flat in Weeke, Winchester, which he will move into in July. We will now work with him to help maintain his tenancy.
