We are pleased to confirm that CIRDIC is still offering a 3 day week limited service for our guests.
We have responded to Reading Borough Council's request to continue to provide meals by offering a food takeaway service on Monday, Tuesday and Friday between the hours of 10am and 12.30pm.
We are very grateful to our brave volunteers for helping us during this time and for the very kind people who have been donating food for the homeless.
If you would like to donate food to the centre we would be very grateful as we are in desperate need especially for bread, milk, crisps, bananas, chocolate and food items that can be used for packed lunches for our guests.
Please contact Mabel at enquiries@cirdic.org.uk or text 07817 373773 to arrange delivery first.
Many thanks for your kind help.

We partnered with More Lord London on our Pamper day raising funds for CIRDIC.
It was a very touching day with lots of smiles, lovely lunch, dirty feet cleaned, beards trimmed, hair cut and some new clothes.
