1 Mar 2006 - Christopher Beazley, MEP, visits Chris Foster House
Christopher Beazley, Member of the European Parliament (1984-1994 and since 1999), visited Chris Foster House, Stevenage Haven's emergency single homeless hostel to learn more about the work of the organisation in Stevenage. Pictured (left to right) are Ron Cohen, Finance Officer Stevenage Haven, Frankie Trudgill, Manager Chris Foster House, Christopher Beazley, MEP for the Eastern region, and Barbara Howard, Director Stevenage Haven. Discussions centred around the work of the hostel and the continuing single homelessness issue in Stevenage. In 2005, 525 referrals were refused with the majority because the hostel was full. This showed a small increase over 2004.
