The Winchester Beacon is a local charity dedicated to supporting people experiencing homelessness. Established in 1988 and open 365 days a year, we provide safe and welcoming accommodation and tailored support to 22 people at a time across our four sites. Each year, we serve over 3,500 meals to our residents with support from our volunteers and using food donated by the local community. We also provide cooking lessons to residents to help them to prepare for independent living.
To celebrate A Taste of Winchester, we are sharing some of our residents’ favourite recipes. They are dishes that bring comfort and a feeling of home and can be made using low-cost ingredients.
