For more than 40 years, MAGS has supported people experiencing homelessness across Worcestershire. Founded in 1985 following the death of John Maxwell with the support of Sammy Brown, the charity began at St Alban’s in Worcester and has since grown into a county-wide service, with a day centre in Worcester, additional support in Malvern, outreach across the county, and a clothing project that offers dignity as well as practical help. Through services ranging from housing and benefits support to job applications and use of the day centre as a fixed address, MAGS helps people take vital first steps towards stability and independence. Much of this work is made possible through community donations and fundraising, which continue to play a crucial role in sustaining life-changing support.
