Usually these places would advertise locally (they do round by me), but I would suggest contacted yur local street services team or the local council's homelessness team who could point you in the right direction. Otherwise use yellow pages to call the place direct, they often only open a few hours per day so it's worth ringing beforehand.

I think it is a lovely gesture, good for you, once you have done it you may want to make it more regular (once per fortnight . month, etc). Hostels are always crying out for volunteers. Have a lovely Christmas, hope Santa brings you something nice

Get in touch asap as i know our local soup kitchen has a training session and does checks and such for people who want to volunteer.

I used to volunteer for these over Christmas and other times, a fantastic experience...
