RESULTS @ C4WS 2010/2011
1. C4WS received 348 calls for a bed space and 88 people stayed with us. This means the need for our service was FOUR times greater than we could accommodate.
2. 88 guests were accommodated during 1st Nov 2010 and 31st March 2011, meaning our beds were slept in 2015 times. The average stay of our guests was 23 nights.
3. 4030 meals were served over 5 months to our guests
4. Of the 88 guests who stayed at C4WS shelter 97% of those that engaged in our services were assisted in securing accommodation. We were unable to help 2 guests due to the complexity of their circumstances, 1 was banned and 18 disengaged. However we hope and believe that every person that stayed at the C4WS shelter benefited from the accommodation we provided and the welfare work that was done alongside each individual.
5. 65 starter packs/food hampers were given to our guests and others in need to help turn their new accommodation into a home.
6. C4WS succeeded in reaching young persons at risk; 43% of C4WS guests were under 25.
