Our practical help includes nourishing hot meals, essential food supplies, suitable clothing, outdoor essentials, and assistance with home-heating needs. Alongside this, we offer advice, a listening ear, and opportunities to connect with others, helping to reduce loneliness, remove barriers, and build confidence.

Our work began in 2008 after a local community event highlighted the need for a safe, friendly daytime space for people facing homelessness or hardship in the Bideford area. Since then, our volunteers and supporters have helped over 1,000 people, creating a warm and welcoming environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Today, we serve hot meals from 10am–1pm every Monday and Wednesday, with plans to open a Warm Space on Thursday mornings. Based at our Queen Street premises, Harbour continues to be a place of safety, encouragement, and community—a harbour in every sense.

Whether you’re looking for support or hoping to volunteer your time and skills, you’ll find a friendly team ready to welcome you.
