A purple double-decker bus donated to Maidenhead Synagogue by a local charitable trust has been converted into a mobile hostel for the homeless.
The seating has been removed from the vehicle and 12 beds installed on the top deck and a kitchen, desk and bathroom downstairs.
Rabbi Jonathan Romain, minister of the Reform congregation, said the desk was the most important feature as it would offer the “first step” for users towards obtaining employment and more permanent accommodation.
The community has been fundraising to pay for a warden who will be on board to supervise and give advice.
