In this section you’ll find detailed information about how Crisis Skylight Newcastle can support you, which areas they cover, how to get to their offices and more.  

How we can help depends on your situation and needs. Get in touch so we can assess your situation and discuss next steps – this could lead to you becoming a Crisis member, which involves you being assigned a lead worker who will work with you over a few weeks or longer to help end your homelessness.  
 
Please note that while we welcome everyone who comes to us for help, our focus is on supporting people who face the most barriers and cannot, or find it difficult to, access other services. If another service can provide the support you need, we will refer you to them.
