What do we offer?

We offer two main groups which are available to anyone experiencing homelessness, hard times and need support: Big Breakfast and Big Breakfast CENTRAL Cafe.

We’re here to support people who call Southampton home through food, friendship and community.

We provide a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental environment where everyone feels seen and valued.  By showing up consistently for one another, we are building a strong community rooted in trust and genuine friendships.

Showing God’s Love
We act with compassion and serve with love to see lives transformed.

Building Community
We create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone belongs.

Making a Difference
Through warmth, time and connection, we bring hope and encouragement.

Everyone is Welcome

✓ Feeling isolated of lonely

✓ Facing difficult circumstances

✓ Experiencing homelessness

✓ Looking for community and support

✓ Needing somewhere safe and welcoming


There is no need to book - just turn up and join us. We would love to welcome you and see you there.

Who are these sessions for?

Loneliness and isolation are common challenges in today's world. Our atmosphere is always friendly, fun, and encouraging, reflecting our core belief that every person is created in God's image and is worthy of unconditional love.  

We see many individuals in vulnerable or uncertain circumstances or those who are experiencing homelessness or are going through a particularly tough time.

Many of our guests come to us as they might not otherwise engage with traditional services in the city.

We know that there are many people in Southampton who find themselves in difficult situations without anywhere to live and do not know where to turn - we are here for them. 

Big Breakfast
Thursdays @ 10am

The Big Breakfast was co-founded nearly 20 years ago by Dr Sanjay Mall and three fellow volunteers, born out of a shared desire to serve and support those experiencing homelessness in Southampton.  What began as a small gathering for just two guests has grown into a well-loved ministry, now welcoming and serving approximately 60 - 80 guests each week.
