Who We Are

Initially named ‘Leamington Winter Support’, the LWS Night Shelter was set up by 2 medical students at the University of Warwick, to provide the service during Winter 2015/2016. We were very fortunate to have the use of the old Priors Club thanks to Tara and Co Estate Agents. Students and locals worked together on all the preparations for our opening night on Friday 22nd January 2016. Since then, we have learned a lot from everyone that has been involved, including our guests. Thanks to continued support from students and the local community we have been able to remain open throughout the year (re-branding to 'LWS Night Shelter'), and are preparing for our eighth winter. We have since moved a couple of times, and can now be found in the Radford Road Church’s hall, to whom we are truly grateful.

As well as our weekly service, we organise fundraising events, and are always in search of new ways to connect with the local community.

We owe our success to every single person that has helped us in any way over the years, and we look forward to continuing the service for as long as possible.
