Quiet work that matters

NEWS  Quiet work that matters

Published on January 29, 2026

Last night looked a little different for our Partner Janine Heil.

She was volunteering on a night shift at the Winter Night Shelter run by Wycombe Homeless Connection.

9.30pm to 7am. Four hosts on shift. Two awake while two rest. Quietly overseeing guests sleeping in the centre.

With the lights out at 11pm, Janine stayed awake until 2.30am. A lantern on, a colouring book and wordsearch to hand, podcasts playing through the night. Keeping watch while others slept.

Some nights are quieter than others. That does not make the work less important. The shelter exists so that when someone is in need, warmth, safety and dignity are there. 

We are proud of Janine for giving her time and care, and proud to support the steady, patient work of Wycombe Homeless Connection.
