Centre 33

Centre 33 is a charity and volunteer-run drop-in centre which provides practical support for people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or otherwise socially disadvantaged in the St Albans area. We aim to help our visitors by providing a welcoming place to meet, offering hot food and drinks, toiletries and shower facilities, and by signposting other services which they may be able to access for further help. We also offer limited supplies of warm clothing items, blankets, etc. We provide almost 9,000 hot meals and help around 300 individuals each year. The Charity has over 150 volunteers and is a recipient of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK. Centre 33 is a member of St Albans City & District Council's Homelessness Partnership Board and collaborates with national and local agencies, local organisations, and other charities working in partnership to improve support services.
