Changing Lives Programme
Crisis, the national Homeless Charity has announced that the Changing Lives Programme will be re-opening for applications from the 22nd September 2008 until 31st October 2008. The Crisis Changing Lives programme provides financial awards of up to £2,000 to solitary people who are homeless or settling into a home and looking for support so that they may achieve their vocational goals. The Awards can be used for course fees, equipment or materials for courses, tools, materials and equipment to get back to work, or to set up a business. Applications can not be made by the homeless person, but rather by the support organisation providing ongoing help. This could be a key worker, someone providing guidance concerning training or employment, a housing support officer or someone like a mental health worker.
