'Our aim is to make sure no-one sleeps rough in Derry City’

On a daily and nightly basis our staff patrol the streets to ensure that the most vulnerable have shelter and food, effectively providing these individuals with an alternative to continuing to drink and remain on the streets overnight.

 

These awards are an opportunity to pay tribute to the exceptional work that is going on within the heart of our community.

This is work that we hear so little about, by people who go the extra mile to make Northern Ireland a safer, better place for everyone.

Our work is very humbling; we endeavour to leave no-one behind on the streets at night.
