I started out in a purely administrative role but soon became involved in the running
of the night shelter and in the lives of those staying there. I have met some wonderful
people and learnt a lot about myself through what has been an incredible experience.
In 2009 I, reluctantly, took on the role of Manager, a post I held until last year when I
accepted the position of Fundraising Ambassador working part time. I have faced many
problems and challenges along the way which have been met and overcome through the
help, hard work and dedication of the fantastic team which is Nomad. I should like to
thank all those who have been a part of my journey, not least the service users.
Homelessness can happen to anyone and the night shelter has been a place of safety
and warmth for hundreds of individuals over the years who have found themselves in
need of help. I am proud to have played a small part in helping them to improve their
lives and I would like to thank all those who have supported and continue to support
Nomad in providing a much needed service. Without the help of the community the

Nomad Newsletter
The Lincoln Soroptimist Club (Soroptimist means ‘best of sisters’) is approaching its 70th year as a
club. It is part of a leading women’s organisation with clubs in more than 100 countries. We support humanitarian causes where we see a need locally and internationally.
For over 5 years now, the scouts have collected
tinned food from their local community to give
to Nomad.
We have supported the Nomad Trust for 16 years and our most loyal supporter is Margaret White.
She was Club President in 1999 and in that year the club began its work for the Nomad Trust by
providing tinned food, coffee, tea, sugar, toilet rolls, squash, cereals etc. Members of our group
bring items of food and household goods to our meetings, which are assembled by Margaret and her
friend Christine into packs. We supply kitchen and personal starter packs. We know these packs are
a great help to the service-users of the Nomad Trust, when they take the big step forward and are
resettled in their own premises.
The number of tins collected has increased year
on year and we now receive well over 2,000.

Once again, the Trust has benefitted from a tin
collection carried out by Saxilby scouts.
We would like to thank the scouts for their
commitment and also the people of Saxilby for
their generosity.

Case Study
Callum is 19 years old he is from Lincoln and
spent his whole life here, He became homeless
after a relationship breakdown with his family
due to his behavioural issues he has been rough
sleeping for a few months before accessing
the nomad trust he has found being homeless
quite tough as never expected to be in this
position but is now looking for longer term
accommodation and looking to get into work so
can rebuild his life and his self esteem
We know too that the hardworking staff and volunteers at the Trust give useful guidance and advice to their service-users to prepare them for resettlement. Several speakers from the Trust have
visited our club to update us on the work undertaken. We have chosen to support the valuable
work of the Nomad Trust in the community and admire the important role the Trust has within the
city of Lincoln.
Diana Randall, Secretary, Lincoln Soroptimist Club.
