In 1981 Geoff Burton (left) and two friends realised the need for a place that could assist people living on the street with some of their daily challenges. Geoff retired as Chairman in 2018 but is still involved as patron, and often comes to serve and talk to the clients. He is pictured here with Janet Chadwick (former fundraiser) on Christmas day 2018 during the #feed5000 campaign.
