WELCOME HOUSE, a Hull based Registered Charity, was founded by Bashir, himself a Pakistani Catholic refugee from religious persecution in his homeland. The Charity supports migrants settling in the UK. From June 11th there will be regular sessions at St Josephs on Wednesdays following the 10 AM Mass. Two case workers from Hull will always be present. So how can we assist?
1) By acting as hosts, making teas and coffees, making visitors feel at home and “signposting” local services.
2) Being careful not to undermine existing provision to the food bank and A.O.S., collect toiletries and food (remembering Muslim dietary requirements
3) If the need arises provide basic clothing It would be good to have volunteers from Howden and Goole and enough to have a rota.
Welcome House is a secular charity, but the SVP in Beverley, Hessle and Hull, as well as the Catenians assist the project. This is the very work that Pope Francis R.I.P. and Pope Leo would endorse. A special Goole Welcome House leaflet is being prepared, but in the meantime Patrick Doyle will answer any queries.
