Story
The Crisis Christmas Dependency Centre have put together 3 teams to enter the Thames - Tyne Challenge. We really don't know what we have to do, but we know that it will start by the Thames and end on the Tyne. We know we have to swim, run and cycle, but otherwise it will be a day of surprises and physical and mental challenges.
If you are homeless or living in hostel accommodation, Christmas can be
a lonely and depressing time. For the past 38 years, Crisis Christmas
has alleviated that loneliness. It provides Christmas Centres across
London from 23 – 30 December that offer vital companionship, hot meals
and warmth, and a wide range of essential services that homeless people
often miss out on.
Last year 3500 people slept rough in London.
· The life expectancy of a rough sleeper is just 42
· Homeless people are 13 times more likely to be a victim of violence
· More than 12,000 people have been housed through Crisis since 1997
