When our big blue banner is up outside at our venues in Marchwood, Hythe and Blackfield I always think passers by can know there’s good stuff happening inside.” Dave, pictured, was one such visitor who popped in on the day he received his keys to say thank you. He also appeared on a recent BBC article on hidden homelessness featuring e Crossings work.

You all gave me such support.” The Crossings have forged strong relations with New Forest District Council’s Housing and Homelessness Teams and have bene tted from the NFDC’s Community Grant this year and a grant from the Dibden Allotments Fund, together with donations from local organisations and inviduals enabling this valuable work to continue.
