Helen Whale, Executive Assistant at Two Saints, said:
“Our mission is to give people who are homeless, vulnerable or in need of support, the opportunity to build a brighter future. We do this empowering our clients with choice and control.

“We were delighted to welcome Peter from SWR and show him around our offices. It’s great we have established a positive relationship and hope to work together again in the near future."

Peter Byrne, SWR's Station Manager at Southampton Airport Parkway, said:
“It was an honour to visit Two Saints at their Fareham office and find out more about their work with homeless people and local communities.

“We wanted to recognise what a great job Two Saints does in the local community. We know that this money will go towards helping local homeless people who are less fortunate than those of us with a roof over our head and a safe place to sleep. We hope to continue working with Two Saints in the months ahead.”
