Homeless Link Excellence Awards

Crescent Cleaning Services making a BIG impact! 

We are so excited and incredibly proud to announce that our social enterprise, Crescent Cleaning Services, has been shortlisted in Homeless Link’s Excellence Awards under the Social Enterprise of the Year category.  

Homeless Link are the national membership charity for organisations working directly with people who become homeless in England. They host annual Excellence Awards to ‘highlight the innovative and impactful work happening across the sector’.  
Speaking of the awards on their website, Homeless Link say: “This year, as homelessness organisations tackle a soar in demand and navigate cuts to funding, it feels more important than ever to highlight the tireless and inspirational work going on across the country to ensure people have a place to call home and the support they need to keep it.” 

Our Social Enterprise Manager, Jordan Canter, says “We are all so pleased to have been shortlisted by Homeless Link in their Social Enterprise of the Year award, especially considering the size and calibre of the other nominees.   

Personally it is very uplifting to see how quickly and by how much CCS has grown and take great pride in the fact of CCS giving people a place to better themselves. 

None of this would have been possible without Arc having faith in the project and the support that everyone in Arc has given CCS.  Most importantly, CCS would not have succeeded so far if it wasn't for the employees.  Their hard work and the support they give to Arc clients, volunteers and new employees is why we are here, so thank you all.” 

The judging panel will be meeting at the end of June with the winners announced in early July. All other organisations shortlisted alongside us are doing incredible work and we’re honoured to be up against them – but of course we’re secretly hoping for the winning spot!
