Homelessness Support Service Set To Close
Written by HFM News on 18th March 2024
A charity will be forced to stop providing help to the homeless in Market Harborough it if cannot secure new funding in the next two weeks.
Falcon Support Services have helped around 200 people since launching from a base on Fairfield Road last year, including providing accommodation.
It provides help to people who have become homeless or those at risk of homelessness.
A grant from the National Lottery paid for service to launch in Market Harborough, but the Lottery can only continue to fund the service at two of the charity’s five bases across the county from April, with other areas deemed more in-need.
Sarah Whannel is Head of Community Development at Falcon Support Services and is appealing to any organisation who can help with funding:
If you can help please contact Sarah by email – sarah.whannell@falconsupportservices.org.uk
The charity will continue to operate other support services in Market Harborough after April.
