THE work of the Brandon Safer Neighbourhood Team together with a nearby gospel church has been shortlisted for a prestigious award.
The pair joined forces after the SNT became aware of a number of homeless people in the area.
Together with the Brandon Gospel Church, Lutheran Church, Church of Christ and the Baptist Church several projects were implemented.
These included a weekly soup kitchen, fresh clothes and bedding, English lessons to help them better integrate into the community, and shelter during the winter.
