Connect 2 Home

Connect 2 Home 

The event is held annually on the first Wednesday in August as part of National Homelessness Week.

Connect2Home assists people to create pathways, open doors, raise awareness, and access community support through a one-stop shop, whilst providing services in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.  We aim to have a balance between community and professional services that people can access across the year whilst creating a safe and fun experience for all.

The event opens with a hot breakfast only.

Donations and service areas open after the official proceedings.

It is a FREE event for people who at risk of homelessness in our community due to the cost of living crisis or who are experiencing homelessness.
