Praise for organisations providing accommodation for city's homeless

ORGANISATIONS that providing accommodation to hundreds of homeless people in Derby night after night have been praised by Derby North MP Catherine Atkinson.

The Labour MP was speaking after a service at Derby Cathedral where representatives from organisations including Derventio Housing Trust, YMCA Derbyshire, Faith Hope and Enterprise and Derby City Mission talked about their work providing beds and homes in the city for people who no longer have theirs.

She said: "It was great to catch up with our incredible charitable and not-for-profit organisations who do such valuable work helping people in Derby who find themselves without a home. The support workers I've met show such compassion and care; they go above and beyond for people who need help - often in very difficult circumstances. Their commitment is inspiring, and I'm full of admiration for everything they do for people in our city."
