Volunteering with the Cambridge Churches Homeless Project - Winter 2024/25
The online form for registration IS NOW AVAILABLE HERE!
Thank you for being interested in volunteering to help at Crossways - this winter's 24/7 accommodation to help prevent rough sleeping in Cambridge.
Crossways is run by the local charity It Takes a City (ITAC), in partnership with the Cambridge Churches Homeless Project (CCHP), Cambridge City Council and supported by other organisations in the city. Throughout the winter (1st Nov 2024 to 31st March 2025) we will provide 20 en-suite rooms to individuals who would otherwise be forced to sleep rough, whilst working with them to provide support and find longer term accommodation.
Volunteers play key roles in the provision of food and creating a safe, welcoming community for residents.
To register to volunteer please fill in the form; it should only take 5 to 10 minutes - thank you! Form link below:
