Crossways, our winter emergency accommodation project, reopens for a third year tomorrow (1st November). Lis Silver, our CEO, and Chris Dade, our Support Services Manager, gave Dave Webster of BBC Radio Cambridgeshire a tour of the building. Listen from 1:24 and again from 2:26.
A central feature at Crossways is that each of our twenty guests have their own room, behind their own door. Before our first arrivals, we thought you might like a quick tour of the accommodation.
Each room has a single bed, with clean linen provided each week, a bedside table and lamp. There is also a desk, chest of drawers and wardrobe for guests to unpack, store their belongings and make the space feel like their own.
Every guest has private bathroom facilities, most of which have an ensuite shower room with sink and toilet. Some may have found it difficult to access washing facilities whilst rough sleeping, so we provide them with a welcome pack of personal items to help them settle in.
