Image The King’s Arms Project started life in 1989 as a discipleship house staffed entirely by volunteers who offered support to residents, many of whom were dealing with life issues such as addictions, self-harm, eating disorders and depression. It has now grown into a charity employing over 20 staff and our current provision includes:

  • Friday Night Meeting - a weekly community meal for the homeless and rough sleepers. This takes place in the centre of Bedford and provides hot food for 40-60 clients per week.
  • Nightshelter - 18-bed accommodation also for street homeless and rough sleepers, providing a hot meal, a bed, breakfast and laundry service, 365 days per year.
  • Barton House – our 14-bed hostel provides supported accommodation for those wanting to move on towards independent living. Residents have access to keyworker support to tackle issues resulting from chaotic lifestyles; they also learn the basic life skills essential for a successful progression to independence.
  • Onward – our floating support service focused on helping homeless clients access and maintain suitable living accommodation. The Onward team also engage informally with a wide range of local street homeless people, helping them to access services and support.


Social Action has been a central part of the life of the King’s Arms Church ever since it began. We believe it is integral to the Christian message to express love and care for the disadvantaged & those in need, whilst helping people to realise their full potential as human beings.

Volunteers still play a vital role in all our activities! If you would like to know more about the KA Project or would be interested in volunteering, then please contact us.
