The Night Shelter has been working steadily over the years with a number of statutory and voluntary agencies.

As a member of the Housing Forum we liaise regularly with Colchester Borough Council, housing associations which provide supported housing, day time support as well as medical and training organisations.

The Night Shelter also has regular contact with the Crime Reduction Partnership, and the Domestic Violence Forum.

On a case to case basis we often work with the Mental Health Care teams, the Probation Service, Learning disabilities teams, drug and alcohol services as well as individual landlords.

The churches in Colchester and the surrounding villages have always been great supporters by providing funding, volunteers. The Churches in Colchester also work with us on special projects such as the Winter Reserve Accommodation Project which sleeps homeless people that the Night Shelter has no room for during the winter months.

If you want to know if your organisation can help just contact us by phone letter or e-mail. More details of our partners may be found on the Links page.
