St George’s Crypt

I spent just 4 hours at St George’s Crypt and quickly got a sense of how important a place it is for so many people in Leeds.
It is a community, it is a support mechanism, it is a temporary home and it is a hot meal for anyone who wants one.
St George’s Crypt is about making people’s lives better and giving them the opportunity to do it for themselves, giving people a purpose to get out of bed and not do the types of things that cause you harm.
Everyone was friendly — from staff, to volunteers from the prison, to ex prisoners in full time employment, to clients using the facilities. I felt safe and as though they appreciated the help that anyone and everyone can offer.
If you want to help out and support such a useful place in Leeds go get in touch and do anything to help them!

St George’s Crypt has been working with disadvantaged, homeless, and vulnerable people of the Leeds community since the 1930s.
St George’s Crypt offers a massive range of services from the very basic level needs of giving food and shelter to those most vulnerable and in need to developing organisations which work on confidence building, skills training and allowing people to begin to support themselves again and integrate back into society. There are many partners to St George’s for funding, skills training and project steering groups.
The diverse range of services provided by St George’s gives a holistic approach to helping others rather than just temporary help then passing the buck and finding no solution to problems.
