Barnet Night Shelter
For many years now churches and other local community groups have shared in hosting a winter night shelter for rough sleepers who are referred by Homeless Action in Barnet – providing a cooked evening meal, breakfast and a warm place to sleep. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us .
Narcotics Anonymous
St James's runs a Narcotics Anonymous session every Monday at 7.30pm, which is free and open to all.
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) exists so that its members can support each other to recover from, and stay, drug free. NA members come from all walks of life, and range in age from teenagers to OAP’s. It costs nothing to attend our meetings. Just turn up. There are no ‘musts’ in NA, and you don’t have to say anything at any NA meeting. If you want to talk to someone from NA first, call the NA helpline on 0300 999 1212. It’s open daily from 10am to midnight, and will be answered by a NA member. www.ukna.org
