Crawley open house

Crawley Open House has been helping the people of the local area since 1982. Their main goal is to help the homeless and disadvantaged by providing an overnight hostel with 26 warm beds as well as a drop-in day centre which can be accessed by anybody who needs help, advice or just the company of somebody who cares, empathises and who tries to understand.

Hostel

The hostel has 26 beds for anyone over the age of 18. The organisation ensures that only a quick referral phone call is required to secure a free bed, unlike other organisations where the application process can be much longer. Once residents have a space, they stay for an initial 28 days whilst they explore suitable move-on options.

Day Centre

The day centre offers 7 key facilities to help the local community: the advice team, the health team, the resettlement team, workshops and classes, hot food and drinks, internet access and phone charging as well as lots of kindness and empathy. The day centre is open Monday – Friday: 10AM – 2PM and weekends and bank holidays 2PM – 5PM.

How we chose Crawley Open House

As a team, we asked for everyone to nominate a charity. We ended up with a short list of 3 amazing local charities to support, all of them being very worthy so it was a difficult decision to make. So, we decided to put the 3 charity names in a hat and the draw was made at our Christmas party. The winner was Crawley Open House! This was a lot of fun and we are all very excited about supporting the Crawley Open House in 2022.

“We are proud to announce that not only is our new chosen charity Crawley Open House, but that we have already been busy with our efforts in support!”

We have already made a start by collecting items of clothing, toiletries and chocolates for the Crawley Open House and Gemma Lawrence, Real Estate Legal Director, will be visiting the charity to deliver the items we have collected!
