The ongoing effects of the economic crisis facing our country continue to impact on the most vulnerable members of our society. In times of hardship the marginalised members of our communities often suffer disproportionately and are the first to be affected by cutbacks.

The numbers attending our services demonstrate very clearly that we are meeting a very real need in our society. During 2010 we have seen an ongoing increase in people seeking help in our homeless and drug services and this shows no sign of letting up.
