Mark has been a familiar face at Soul Hub for over a year now and has set his life on a more stable track.
Today was his second visit to Soul. We commonly use the phrase ‘there are no two days alike at Soul’ and today was another golden example of that.
He came in and ate a delicious beef and vegetable lunch with one of our floor team volunteers and he mentioned how he doesn’t have a sleeping bag. So, we popped downstairs and got him a brand-new swag we had donated to us recently. “I’ve been looking for a swag like this for over 2 years” he told us.
On his way back upstairs, he started talking to one of the brilliant Bunnings volunteers and mentioned how much of a difference a brand-new pull cart would make to his daily travels through Newcastle.
During lunch Bunnings on their own merit snuck out and picked him up a brand new Gorilla Mesh Cart free of charge! He was so excited he went downstairs with a Soul team member, and they assembled it in less than half an hour.
Dan said how he’s already fallen in love with Newcastle and said that through his travels he has never come across a service like Soul Hub. We can’t wait to see him and all our other guests tomorrow morning for breakfast.
