A week of activities began on 6th October, running through to 10th October, with an interactive display showing how both organisations provide support. Visitors of all ages can get involved; building a Duplo house to share on e Crossing’s Facebook page and having a go at the activity sheets. A strong partnership has been built with the council’s Housing and Homelessness Teams over recent years. NFDC representatives attend e Crossing’s Black eld drop-in twice monthly to provide in-person support for the public. Project Leader, Andy Clarke says: “Thanks to the great team at the library as they host us for this, our third year marking this event. We love to get the word out, particularly with this year’s partnership with NFDC. Our library is the perfect place for sharing this”. As well as council support e Crossings were delighted to be awarded a £10,000 grant by Waterside Community Fund (WCF) in September. Having helped support applications from individuals, e Crossings was itself the recipient of the generous funding WCF award to organisations in the Waterside.
