Alternative Angels: Supporting Swindon’s Homeless and Vulnerable

At Alternative Angels, we’re a community-driven charity with a clear mission: to provide hot meals, support, and a sense of belonging to those in need in Swindon. Our goal isn’t just to feed people – it’s to help them rebuild their lives and create a brighter future.

Why We’re Here

Since 2016, we’ve grown from feeding 15 people in the Wyvern car park to now serving over 900 individuals each month. What began as a small, compassionate effort has expanded into a vital service for Swindon’s homeless and vulnerable. In 2022, we found a permanent home at the Pilgrim Centre, and now, every week, we open our doors to around 200 people.

Many of those we support are facing tough challenges – homelessness, addiction, or the aftermath of abusive relationships. Our goal is to provide more than just food; we offer a safe, welcoming space where people can receive the practical support they need to get back on their feet.

Why Your Support Matters

The rising cost of living and the increasing demand for our services mean that we need your help more than ever. Every donation directly supports the work we do – from providing hot meals and snacks to helping people access services like eye tests and access to helping people access services like eye tests, support during freezing temperatures, and essential items for those moving into accommodation after being homeless. Your support ensures we can continue offering these vital services.

We’re also investing in long-term solutions, such as skills development, rehabilitation programmes, and other support that helps people gain independence and a sense of purpose. Our mission is to reduce the number of people living on the streets and help them create better futures for themselves and their families.

The Need is Urgent

With more people in need than ever before, our charity is at a critical point. We can’t do it alone – we rely on the kindness and support of the community. Your donation, no matter how big or small, makes a direct impact on the lives of those we serve. It helps us keep our doors open and ensures we can continue offering the vital services that are transforming lives.

If you can, please consider donating today. Your support truly makes a difference in our community and helps us move closer to our goal of a Swindon where no one has to go hungry or face homelessness alone.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
