OUR HISTORY

The Beginning
Sept 2013, Craig White died of a heroin overdose in a car park in Cardiff, he was the brother of Risha Lancaster. Coffee4Craig began as a reaction to his death and a desire to make the world a little better for those who find themselves on the streets.

Street Kitchen
January 16 2014 Coffee4Craig started the first static C4C street kitchen on Piccadilly Gardens Manchester, with Northwest first aid, this became 3 nights a week between 7pm and 9pm Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Coalition of Relief
2015 Coffee4Craig, Lifeshare, and CAN team together to start COR (Coalition of Relief Network.) This forum is for grassroots charities and organisations working together to provide a sustainable long term support for people sleeping on the streets in Greater Manchester.
