There are currently around 17 people volunteering each Saturday to feed the 45 homeless people who visit the church. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brenda Wee, one of the leaders of Impact Outreach said that the service was inspired by a night shelter service that City Church and six other churches across Cardiff are involved in during the winter. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She said: \u00a0\u201cOne of the pastors co-ordinated seven churches in Cardiff to have one night a week to open up extra beds in the church hall. It ran from December till March.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBy the end of March, we had gotten to know the people who came and we didn\u2019t want to stop. So we carried on with a weekly event where we offer a hot meal and a place to sleep.\u201d <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSome of the people who come in are homeless or sofa surfing. Others may be in hostels and some may have their own accommodation. However, they are still welcome to come along.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mrs Wee said that the project was inspired by the church\u2019s compassion for helping others.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17245\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17245\" style=\"width: 739px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-17245\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Volunteers meet to give thanks and to think about the less fortunate\" width=\"739\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17245\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-17245\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Volunteers meet to give thanks and to think about the less fortunate\" width=\"739\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/citychurchmeeting_SA_14.02.17-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/noscript> Volunteers meet to give thanks and to think about the less fortunate<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She said: \u201cFor us as Christians, Jesus taught us to look after the poor and needy. Our motivation is showing God\u2019s love and compassion for people.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe help with physical needs but we do try and help people spiritually. We help place people into rehab, or link them up with bereavement services. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf they have a particular need or problem, we try to liaise with professionals groups that can help them.\u201d <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of the volunteers at City Church felt that helping in the evenings not only assisted those in need, but also gave the volunteers themselves a sense of fulfillment.<\/span><br \/>\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Church volunteers on why they enjoy helping out\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vskVEf90xxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Church volunteers on why they enjoy helping out\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vskVEf90xxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\nDean Coombes, 33, a volunteer at the church said: \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to help out the homeless. When I found out about Impact Outreach, I couldn\u2019t wait to get involved.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI love working in the kitchen and just being around everybody. The feeling among all the workers here is like being in a family. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen I was younger, I spent a lot of time being unproductive. It\u2019s the England vs Wales rugby game today and the old me would have been out drinking.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with that of course.

It gives them hope that one day, \u00a0they will be able to sort out the problems they have.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of the people using the service had visited on more than one occasion. As a result, they had gotten to know many of the volunteers at the church.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jane Avery has been coming to the shelter over a year. She said that the service offers more than just a hot meal and a bed to sleep in. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She said: \u201cI didn\u2019t know a lot of people because I\u2019m not from Cardiff originally. But when I started coming here, I started to get to know people. Now, I\u2019ve got friends here as well. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI love talking, meeting people and seeing friends. I\u2019ve met quite a few of my friends from this place. It\u2019s all about having the company and conversation. Otherwise, I\u2019d be stuck in my room all the time.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">City Church runs the night service every Saturday night from 6:30pm onwards.
