Bringing hope and help to the homeless.
Our client is a small but mighty charity tackling homelessness across Southwark and Lambeth. Working with over 600 volunteers, churches and community partners, they deliver life-changing services to vulnerable people on the streets.
In winter, they run emergency night shelters. Year-round, their Wednesday Club offers hot meals, showers and support. They provide up to six months of floating support to help guests secure sustainable accommodation and find employment or training.
They have generated around £1.9 million from private sector funding over seven years - evidence of genuine impact and donor confidence. Now they are entering an exciting growth phase.
