Somerset West Night Shelter
The Somerset West Night Shelter was established in 1988 and service the homeless of the Helderberg and can accommodate up to 42 men and 12 women.
When someone arrives at the shelter we assist them by providing secure overnight sleeping accommodation, an evening meal and breakfast and ablution facilities with warm showers. Social work services are given such as counselling, identity document applications, social grant applications, pension applications, liaising with other organisations such as old age homes, clinics and hospitals. Various workshops are given like the HIV awareness program.
The shelter can be full, however we can offer help to people with a warm plate of food, a shower, clothes and a waterproof sleeping bag.
