It Takes a City writes... Crossways, our winter emergency accommodation project, reopens for its third year on 1st November. We are busy making sure everything is in place for our guests, with help from our amazing partners and volunteers. 

We’ve produced a short report about last years’ project, highlighting the power of partnership in action and how it can achieve lasting change for those experiencing life on the streets. 

  • 20 rough sleepers supported off the street each night from 01/11/22 to 31/03/23 
  • 49 rough sleepers (38 in regular beds and 11 SWEP guests) were supported during the winter. 
  • 40 rough sleepers ended their rough sleeping by moving on into suitable second stage accommodation. 

We are looking for local businesses and organisations to support our continuing work at Crossways this winter. If you can help us with donations, fundraising events, corporate/team volunteering, or in any other way, please contact itacinfo@ittakesacity.org.uk
