Dome inspires homeless people at Christmas

Crisis | 13.12.2004 19:03 | London

Crisis Open Christmas will take place in six venues around London this year from 23 to 30 December. The main venue will be at the Millennium Dome in Greenwich.

This year Crisis, the national homelessness charity, will be launching its ‘Be Inspired’ area at the Dome. Alongside basic medical and healthcare services homeless people will be able to take part in workshops from plumbing to IT and art to basic numeracy.

Shaks Ghosh, Chief Executive of Crisis said: “Giving warmth and comfort is great. But it is not enough to move people out of homelessness. We need to give people the confidence and skills they need. The Dome was designed to be a building that inspired people. This Christmas it will inspire homeless people to rebuild their lives.”

This year Crisis will be increasing its efforts to connect homeless people to courses and training in the New Year, including those at the Crisis Skylight activity centre, which runs year round.
