Crawley Borough Council will hold an information day on how to help the local homeless community.  

Along with partners including Crawley Open House and Sussex Police, Council officers will be on hand to answer questions about diverted giving.  This is an initiative which encourages the public to donate to homelessness support charities instead of directly to rough sleepers. The Council says that donating to charities such as Crawley Open House is more beneficial; this charity provides temporary accommodation, healthcare, financial advice and employment support to those sleeping rough with the aim to get back on their feet and into a healthier lifestyle.  

The Information Day takes place in Queens Square on 1st June from 10 am until 2 pm.
