In Out of the Cold - 18 December 2023

In Out of the Cold is an annual festive event bringing warmth and cheer to people who are homeless or suffering hardship. The event provides companionship, advice, and assistance, in a relaxed and friendly environment.

There will be hot food and drinks, advice and information stalls, access to warm clothing and donations, and a carol service for the attendees. Attendees will also be able to get useful advice and support, and information about services which can help them.

In Out of the Cold will take place at Middlesbrough Town Hall on Monday 18 December 2023, from 1pm to 3:30pm.

We need volunteers on the day to help with the event. There are a number of roles, which will be assigned before the event. We need volunteers from 9am on the day, as well as during the event (1pm to 3:30pm).

If you'd like to get involved, please email inoutofthecold@middlesbrough.gov.uk by Monday 4 December 2023.
