Night Shelter


Further to my previous blog about the Snowflake Winter Night Shelter, Hastings Borough Council has now announced that, as the cold weather is continuing, its Night Shelter will remain open until Monday 4th February 2019, please let people you see who lack accommodation know, see notice reproduced below: 

"Wednesday (30th), Thursday (31st), Sunday (3rd) – the night shelter will be located in the Crypt area at Christ Church, London Road;

Friday (1st), Saturday (2nd) - the night shelter will be located in Christ Church Parish Centre (locate in the Old School Building on the opposite side of Christ Church Courtyard to the Crypt). 

Guests need to arrive between 8pm and 10pm. People will not be able to access the shelter after 10pm. Guests will then need to leave the shelter at 8am the following morning. 

Any individuals who need to use the night shelter are asked to come to the Community Contact Centre at Hastings Town Hall to register. The contact centre’s opening hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday: 8.30am to 5pm, Wednesday : 10.00am to 5pm and Friday: 8.30am to 4.30pm people can also register at the night shelter each evening between 8pm and 10pm. We’d encourage people to present as early as possible.

Dogs may be brought to the shelter, and cages will be provided. No alcohol or other substances should be brought to the shelter. A member of the housing options team will open the shelter and security will be provided throughout the night.

We will consider other temporary accommodation options for any individuals who are we are not able to accommodate in the night shelter."
