The Shelter was open from 30th Dec 2010 to 1st April 2011
In that time, we accommodated up to 25 people each night, a total of:
2205 suppers
2205 beds for the night
2205 breakfasts
92 different people stayed at the shelter, including 11 women
We helped 62 people to find accommodation, and we continue to work with others
Over 500 volunteers from the Hackney community made this possible
Our Link Worker and Support Workers are continuing to work with people
to help them get off the streets, and providing continuing support
for those who have moved into accommodation.
