Tackling homelessness together…

Homeless support

At People’s Kitchen Belfast, we offer direct support to individuals experiencing homelessness across the city. From hot meals and essential supplies to safe spaces and compassionate outreach, we’re here to meet immediate needs while offering dignity and respect – because no one should face homelessness alone.

Outreach

Our outreach team is on the streets of Belfast every night, reaching people where they are — often in the most vulnerable moments of their lives. We provide hot food, warm clothing, sleeping bags, and most importantly, a listening ear. It’s about more than just essentials — it’s about connection, trust, and reminding people they’re not forgotten. Our outreach work is a lifeline for those who feel invisible.

DROP in

Our Drop-In centre on Antrim Road is a welcoming space for those who are experiencing homelessness. Whether you’re looking for a hot meal, advice, or just someone to talk to, our team is here to help. It’s a safe, warm environment where people can rest, recharge, and access practical support with dignity and respect.
