Last week one of our team visited the #cowmusem in Amsterdam who kindly donated a cow to Haven First. It's on display at reception in our Stevenage Hostel. Do you have any suggestions on what we should name it? #Homeless #Homelessness #Stevenage #Baldock #Hitchin #NorthHerts

We are delighted to announce that we are joining forces with @haven_first whom we have had a successful longstanding partnership with 🤩 The vision for joining forces is to create new opportunities that build on our desire to help every single homeless person who turns to us 🥰
