Cornerstone Supported Housing and Counselling visited The Every Other Tuesday Group in Shildon last week to gratefully collect a donation they had made.
Cornerstone are a charity that supports the homeless and are about to open a new shop in Bishop Auckland.
Nikki Morson, Communications and Support Lead for Cornerstone, brought along Bob.
Bob is their fully qualified therapy dog for the homeless and works across all sectors of the charity.
The Every Other Tuesday Group donated a small amount to Cornerstone, who were so thankful for the support.
Cornerstone Supported Housing and Counselling work with their frontline homeless response teams on the streets of Hartlepool as well as weekly visits to their supported accommodation and homeless hubs.
Bob has transformed the way they provide support, opening up new avenues for engaging with individuals and building trust.
He provides a warm hug for people who are sleeping homeless in tents or sleeping on the streets.
The Every Other Tuesday Group meets, as their name suggests, every other Tuesday.
They go on a trip one week and have guest speakers the next week.
They provide a warm place to meet for ladies who are retired and may be facing loneliness and isolation.
