Risha Lancaster set up Coffee4Craig in memory of her brother
"We did 50 people in the first hour yesterday, 67 in total. Each night we're getting busier and busier," says co-founder Risha Lancaster. "We're seeing a lot of people who wouldn't normally end up on the streets, people in crisis due to the cost of living, who are losing their businesses, their jobs, their houses," she says.
"The knock-on effect is on the service we provide. We are having to say 'no' to guests who come in for a pair of boxer shorts and socks because we aren't getting the donations."Unfortunately Coffee4Craig's predicament is a familiar one for Tony Armstrong, chief executive of community organisations network Locality, who describes it as a "national crisis".
