There is also a lunchtime provision where people who are not accessing our accommodation can enjoy a free meal from Monday to Friday, freshly-prepared by our Nurture trainees.

St George’s Crypt is outcome-focused when it comes to finding appropriate accommodation; essential support planning with the residents decides which accommodation is suitable. Not everyone wants accommodation, their street-based lifestyle often has a vice-like grip on the person. We understand this, and gentle steps are required to help the person engage with us. People’s aspirations are vital, our Health and Wellbeing team help to find the best activities depending on their current circumstances. On average, from around 2,500 people departing from the Crypt, 87 per cent of our residents experienced a positive move into appropriate accommodation.
