On Saturday 1st August 2015- 12 volunteers from the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) arrived at Sanctuary Supported Living in Banbury to provide some comfort and good food for the homeless and needy.

Sanctuary Supported Living is a support group especially for young single homeless people aged 16-25. Priority is given to 16-18 year olds and care leavers who need support with weekly meetings held to address their needs, including life skills, budgeting and cooking.

By 12:15pm the marquee was erected and the BBQ started. The team worked hard for the next few hours to provide a delicious, free BBQ lunch to all inhabitants and staff which was gratefully received and thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

Set up and ready to go…

Staff and Inhabitants alike were highly appreciative of this gesture from RRT with many making comments such as – ‘is this really all free?’ and ‘RRT is an amazing service, and the burgers were delicious – thank you!’

RRT were glad to support Sanctuary Supported Living and wish them all the best in their ongoing good works for society
