CRISIS NOT ONLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME

Ken Holdsworth from Crisis chats with Ann after his talk to the CWL on Tuesday.   He described some of the problems faced by the homeless, and reminded us that 35 years ago when it was founded, Crisis was a charity which gave people shelter in London for a week at Christmas.    Now it is an all-the-year organisation working in a number of English cities supporting homeless folk of all ages through training and other services until they obtain employment and are able to lead a normal life.   What wonderful work.   He was thanked and applauded warmly afterwards.
