Chip in

We began in 1975 when a group of six homeless men in London teamed up to create the change they wanted to see.

An end to rough sleeping and the cold, hard floors of warehouses – and a city where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

Today, we are the largest homeless charity dedicated to helping Londoners in crisis. Every year, we help over 10,000 Londoners to leave homelessness behind, to be seen, to be heard, and find a place to call home.

The best way to end homelessness is to stop it from happening in the first place.

They're walking miles instead of taking the bus, going from shop to shop to find the best prices for basic foods and even though it is getting cold, no-one is turning the heating on. - Ann, Service Manager"

What are we doing?

Sleeping rough is a traumatic experience and should be avoided at any cost. That's why, right now, our teams are working across the capital to prevent homelessness.

With soaring inflation and a 96% rise in energy bills, this is harder than ever. Our clients are really struggling to pay the rent, eat and keep the lights on.

How you can make a difference

We've set up an emergency fund with an aim to support our 500 most vulnerable clients with a £100 energy top up. 100% of every donation will go straight to this emergency fund.

How we helped Mitchell find a home, for good.

After his relationship broke down, Mitchell fell into street homelessness in 2019.

"Single Homeless Project has given me a life. Now that I have a place to call home and a roof over my head, I have the bases to rebuild something meaningful out of my life.

I’m looking forward to working again, it’s something I’ve done from a young age. With my love for cooking, I hope to find something related. I know it’s going to be hard, but if I can overcome homelessness, I can do anything”.
