Homeless centre needs volunteers
A shortage of volunteers has left a Lincoln-based charity for the homeless in crisis.

The Nomad Trust's night shelter, day centre and fundraising shop are all short of staff.

Existing volunteers said the work can be very rewarding because the trust makes a real difference to the lives of people who live on the streets.

The charity is also appealing for help in finding a handyman who can help them carry out repairs and maintenance.

A spokeswoman for the centre said: "We're looking for hands-on people.

"Every aspect of Nomad's job is to bring in volunteers to do anything and everything that they're comfortable doing."
