When one becomes two: Double your Impact

Here's the full updated report:

Project Report – Cribs International

Reporting Period: Dec 2025– May 2026

Thank you.

Before anything else, we want to say thank you. Your support over the past five months has made everything in this report possible.

Housing

At the heart of everything Cribs does is housing — safe, stable accommodation for people who have often lost everything. Over the past five months, we have continued to provide a home for some of the most vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in our community.

We are delighted to report that three people have moved on from our housing into greater independence — a moment we always celebrate, because it means our work is doing what it is meant to do.

At the same time, we have welcomed three new arrivals into our housing, each with their own story and their own set of needs. We are proud to be walking alongside them as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Casework Support

Good housing is only part of the picture. Our residents need consistent, skilled support to navigate the complex systems around asylum, benefits, healthcare and employment.

It is with mixed feelings that we say goodbye to a long-standing member of the Cribs team, who has given so much to our residents over the years. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and the difference they have made to so many lives.

We are not currently in a position to grow the team, but we are pleased to share that a new caseworker will be joining us shortly. We look forward to welcoming them and to continuing to provide the consistent, compassionate support our residents depend on.

Improving Our Services

We are committed to making Cribs work better — for the people we serve and for the volunteers and donors who make it possible.

We are currently upgrading our website to make it easier for both service users and supporters to access what they need quickly and simply.

We are also improving access to our Free Shop — a vital resource for our residents. The booking system is being redesigned to make it less labour intensive to manage and, crucially, fairer for everyone who needs to use it.

Looking Ahead

The need does not slow down, but neither do we. With new team capacity on the way and improved systems coming online, we are well placed to continue and grow our work in the months ahead.

Thank you, again, for making this possible. Every donation you have made has helped keep a roof over someone's head and kept hope alive.
