Project Change Croydon

Charity

Nightwatch - Nightwatch is a charity that has been caring for homeless people in the London Borough of Croydon for more than thirty years. We are an entirely voluntary organisation with more than 100 volunteers who are out, in teams, every night of the year. We help people at evey level of homelessness, including the street homeless through those in hostels, bed and breakfast and unsatisfactory accommodation. We also help former homeless poeple who are still vulnerable and whose main point of contact is via the homeless community. An important part of our work is not only the physical but the emoitional and spiritual wellbeing of the people we see. We are involved in supplying food, clothing, household goods and in the resettlement of former homeless people into new accommodation. We have no paid staff and the charity does not own property (a church allows us a kitchen and storage areas at a low rent). Our adminsitrative costs are therefore very low so a high proportion of money donated to us goes directly to people in need.

About Project Change

After the riots in Croydon and other places last August, there was a lot of media coverage about “feral teenagers”.

In fact, most of the people convicted of offences in Croydon on 8th August weren’t teenagers and only a tiny minority of young people in Croydon were involved, but the media love to stereotype.

It’s time we did something about it.

With the help of Croydon MP Gavin Barwell, we have got together a group of young people from right across the borough who are going to meet up once a month to do something to improve the town – and hopefully change other people’s perceptions of young people in the process.

We’ll decide what we are going to do and Gavin has said he’ll help arrange the necessary funding and equipment - and provide a reference for anyone who turns up regularly.

Fundraising has now finished, but thanks for visiting this page.
