The 999 Club is at the heart of the local community.

Churches

We work with the local churches – and appreciated their help when we were running the night shelter. We hope they will become even more involved next year.

Rotary Club

The local Rotary Clubs and their individual members are very supportive of the 999 Club. They make donations (where would the night shelter have been without their sleeping bags?), donate money and one individual has even offered accommodation for a children’s holiday.

Young people

Local cubs, scouts and brownies also collect for the 999 Club – they regularly collect toiletries which we can then give out to people to whom a new bottle of shampoo or some hand cream are real treats.
We are also working alongside students from the University of London, Goldsmith’s College, which is just along the road from the New Cross Centre. This has been great fun for us and the students.  The Warden of Goldsmiths was so impressed when he visited that he mentioned us and his students’ involvement with us at last year’s graduation ceremonies.  

The Law

We have recently been very fortunate to acquire the services of a local solicitor who is a great supporter of the 999 Club. He is providing a free advice session one morning every month  in the Deptford Centre.

 The Council

We work with the council – particularly on drug rehabilitation projects and homelessness.

NHS

We work with local health care providers – especially in the area of mental health. We keep in regula and close contact with the local psychiatric clinic. Visiting patients and taking them to appointments. We also help to encourage them to remember their medication.
TB and hepatitis screening and inoculation takes place at the Deptford centre.
