The SMART Prebend Support Hub is open throughout the year for people who have no home, have been rough sleeping or, increasingly, have fallen on tough times. It’s a warm, safe place, where our community can come for urgent and ongoing help. We offer free hot food, showers and clean clothes. Our employees, volunteers and partners provide advice and support on many topics including housing, health, and debt.

The team, heating, lighting and food all need to be paid for and, as we all know from our own households, prices are rising. The Hub does not receive any Government funding. We stay open only through the generosity and kindness of people in and around Bedford and further afield. It is crucial that we keep providing our vital services. For some people, all the other options have been exhausted and we are the only people left to turn to.
