Changed
Time to Change (West Cumbria) Project CIC aims to help tackle homelessness in West Cumbria. The Project aims to provide 24 hour emergency accommodation based in West Cumbria. We recognise the rise in homelessness in West Cumbria particularly amongst our armed forces personnel. We therefore aim to prioritise British service Personnel experiencing difficulties re-intergrading into civilian life.
There is a 6 month maximum stay and residents are responsible for fundraising / cooking / cleaning and managing the project with support from staff and volunteers. The Project is completely 'dry' and staff will be on site 24/7. We only accept referrals from people from West Cumbria (local connection only). We aim to provide paid and unpaid employment opportunities through our various social enterprise schemes.
This Project will provide residents who are homeless with not only a “bed for the night” but the essential life skills needed to enter employment and become part of our local community.
