Christmas Blessings and Farewell for now
Hi Neighbours
The Crosslight Trust is moving out of the "home" we have occupied for nearly 30 years. We are very sad to be leaving but we don't have the choice. Crosslight is going into recess for at least a year or two.
We feel so very blessed to have had the privilege of being available to thousands of people over the years and thank all those of you who have either been volunteers, customers, donors, members of our groups and programmes, supporters and those who have come in for food parcel assistance or other help. For food parcel enquiries please contact the Vinnies 07 847 4044 who are the next closest for people living in the Dinsdale/Nawton/Crawshaw areas.
From all of us at Crosslight we wish you blessings for a very happy, safe, healthy, and relaxing Christmas and holiday time.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
