We are so excited to announce the launch of our Sit Up Service! We have employed 2 new members of staff to run this night time facility….which will provide shelter, warmth and safety overnight for 3 rough sleepers. Welcome to our team Kelly and Matthew!
Access to the service is by referral from the Emergency Duty Team, and places are available from 22.00 – 09.00.
Clients using the service will be able to use our shower facilities while they have their clothes washed. A full pack of toiletries and towels are provided. We will have fresh night clothes ready for them to wear while they wait for their items to be dried. Project workers will have food and drinks available for them during the night.
At 09.00 the next morning support staff from the Local Authorities Housing Team will work with the clients to ensure appropriate accommodation is found as soon as possible.
We are thankful to Stockton and Middlesbrough Council for funding this project.
