The Reunion: October 2022. The sex workers’ occupation of the Church of the Holy Cross initiated by the English Collective of Prostitutes in November 1982 was a historic event in the history of King’s Cross and of the King’s Cross Women’s Centre, our former home (1979-1995), which provided a base for support work and for well-wishers and the media to be in touch with women in the church. To mark the 40th anniversary and as part of the Bloomsbury Festival, the Church organized the event, Hookers in the House of the Lord – The Reunion (modelled on the Radio 4 series) to reflect on the significance of the occupation then and today with others who were there at the time – members of the ECP, local residents, the church and the police. More information: an anniversary booklet, Hookers in the House of the Lord, and film here."

Making Merry Christmas 2022! The Centre distributed 40 huge food hampers, containing everything to make a delicious Christmas dinner, to destitute and low-income women and children who join in the Centre’s collective self-help services. The hampers were donated by Carmel Charity Foundation, founded by a fashion supplier company based in Kentish Town. Kind volunteers at London Basket Brigade made up and delivered the hampers to women’s homes on 23 December.
And our generous friends at Food For All donated 40 children’s presents, all wrapped up and ready for Christmas.
In these very hard times mums much appreciated these contributions:
