To be open, honest, and fair
To empower our clients
How We Got Here
Crosslight was established in October 2009 and we saw our first client in January 2010. Since then we have provided advice and support to thousands of families and individuals in difficulty. Set up originally as part of the social action work of Holy Trinity Brompton church in London, Crosslight has since expanded, opening up new branches in partnership with numerous churches and running appointments from locations throughout London and the South of England.
Every day we see individuals and families who have been broken by their circumstances, be that illness, bereavement, loss of employment, mental health problems or family breakdown. Through circumstances that any of us would struggle to deal with, they have found themselves facing the prospect of being evicted from their home, struggling to keep the power on, or unable just to meet their basic day-to-day needs.
Working in partnership
Crosslight works hand-in-hand with local partners which support and provide funding for each of our branches.
What’s in a name?
Names are important, and so when we decided to set up our charity, we wanted a name that summed up what we stood for. So why did we choose Crosslight?
