Kairos Community Trust is dedicated to helping homeless men and women with drug and alcohol problems. They do this through their abstinence-support hostel, rehab programmes and their network of 29 supported move-on houses, most of which are in south London.<\/p>\n

Addiction and homelessness are twin problems, and Kairos believe that the journey to recovery from drugs and alcohol begins in a safe, secure environment.<\/p>\n

Core services provide are: sober hostel accommodation, day programme rehab, residential rehab, supported housing and aftercare. Each service can be accessed separately or they can be combined to build individual pathways to recovery over a period of time. All services are delivered by experienced teams of qualified therapists, support workers and administrators.<\/p>\n

The need<\/h3>\n

CRASH has been working with Kairos Community Trust for many years supporting a number of their development projects. Therefore, when Kairos asked CRASH for help with a 6 bedroom property that will provide move-on accommodation for people who have completed their rehabilitation programme, we were happy to help.<\/p>\n

The CRASH solution<\/h3>\n

CRASH Corporate Patron 8build worked with Kairos to ensure that the property met all necessary standards for a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO).<\/p>\n

John Sisk & Sons, who were working on a construction project locally, offered to project manage the extension. They brought Green Tea Architects onboard and managed the entire planning process including the submission of plans to Lewisham Council.<\/p>\n

How CRASH Corporate Patrons helped<\/h3>\n

Once planning was secured, CRASH Corporate Patrons Buildbase donated bricks, British Gypsum plasterboard, Bauder roofing and Dulux Trade donated paint. CRASH supporters BAXI donated a boiler and Johnson Tiles donated flooring.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
