Acknowledging the work done by ‘York Road Project’ on World Homeless Day.

The High Sheriff attended the open morning at ‘York Road Project’ resource centre this week. The charity, based in Woking exists to help people get off the streets, overcome housing challenges, and settle into a place they can call home. The event held on World Homeless Day was also attended by Will Forster MP.

The High Sheriff – Shahid Azeem DL said, “Woking is a town that works hard to support people with nowhere to live. I attended the open morning to catch up on what they have been doing and help raise awareness on the issues that face homeless people, especially as the temperatures start to drop. Contrary to popular belief it really can happen to anyone and the current economic situation has meant that organisations like York Road Project really do have their work cut out for them. Well done to Cherisse Dealtry and her team for the important work they do in the town.” 

Cherisse said “We were honoured to have the High Sheriff of Surrey, Shahid Azeem DL, at our event, acknowledging the vital role we play in helping those facing homelessness.”
