Making more room for recovery at Kairos
The latest stage in the redevelopment of the Kairos move-on house in Eugenia Road, Southwark, was completed last week when residents moved into the two new ground-floor bedrooms.
How patrons helped
The project is the latest at Eugenia Road to be made possible by the generosity and commitment of CRASH providing architectural and planning expertise through Andrew Bain of Areen Design, as well as financial support and materials for John Bailey of JMB Building Construction to extend the three-storey Victorian vicarage – now a move-on house with a total of 11 bedrooms.

The social impact
It has been one of my aims this year to develop within the buildings we have. The addition of our five new rooms, including these two at Eugenia Road, is the equivalent accommodation in a whole house. We are enormously grateful to CRASH for making it possible for us to provide more homes for the homeless in recovery.
