On welcoming Romesh to his new role with us, James Abdool, Chair of Trustees, commented “Crawley Open House has worked hard to achieve great success in helping people in need in Crawley for over twenty-five years. We aim to provide a range of support flexible enough to meet the diversity and complexity of needs that people face.
"To achieve this, we continue to grow and change. Recent developments include the extension at Riverside House, the completion of eight first stage move-on rooms and our growing presence in the community. Romesh joins us at an exciting time with our new Resource Centre opening later this year, and we look forward to working together with him to give the very best help for the homeless and disadvantaged in Crawley.”
