The King’s Arms Project held their biennial “Sleep Out” on Friday to raise awareness of the problems for people who have to sleep rough on our streets here in Bedford and Kempston.  On this topic, as on others, The King’s Arms church is dedicated, knowledgeable, caring and inspiring.  Their leadership is providing help and insight to some of the most disadvantaged in our community. 

In her talk, Ali Inwood, CEO of the King’s Arms Project, mentioned how important it was to recognise that every instance of a person sleeping rough is an individual story, with an individual history of events and circumstances that has led that person to the need to sleep rough.

 The volunteers of King’s Arms make a real, positive impact on people’s lives.  I hope the next Government can encourage them to do even more to help.
