Homelessness Overview
According to the UK government’s official data for 2023, the number of people estimated to be sleeping rough on a single night is 3,898 (over 1,100 in London).
People who sleep rough experience some of the most severe health inequalities and report much poorer health than the general population. Many have co-occurring mental ill health and substance misuse needs, physical health needs, and have experienced significant trauma in their lives and are more likely to die young than the general population.’
Our Mission
We exist to provide minimally-invasive medical care and pastoral support for the rough sleepers on the streets of London. Through the relationships that are built our intention is to assist the homeless to access existing services; both medical & social – empowering them to leave their life on the streets and break free from the trap of homelessness.
Our Services
We provide basic medical assessment, this includes things like; the checking of heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar levels etc.
We also provide a signposting service so that anyone who we make contact with can be given information on support agencies that could be of benefit to them moving forward in their present situation.
