Monika’s Story

Monika* was long−term homeless when she was referred to us by the Bridge Trust, who were providing supported accommodation until she could get back on her feet. We provided her with a starter parcel (toiletries, cleaning products, cupboard essentials) plus a slow cooker (with supplies and recipes), and four weeks of standard parcels. With the help of the Tunbridge Wells FutureStore organisation, Monika found and applied successfully for a job, and she is now supporting herself, using food larders if she needs to, while looking for a permanent place to live.
