The journey home can be long, and it’s not an easy path.

But we take heart, we stick with people and we don’t give up, supporting them to find their own way home.

Help us make London a city where no one sleeps rough on our streets 👇

We’re hoping to support many more women out of homelessness in the years to come but this wraparound approach to support needs to be spread further

'Where are we supposed to put them if every city, every village, every town lacks compassion and passes a law identical to this? Where are they supposed to sleep?'

I'm Omer from Sudan. Former journalist & UN worker, now a refugee in the UK.

During Lockdown I lost my right to work and my home.

Luckily, The Connection helped me to secure my Leave to Remain, housing, & hope.

Now I'm ready to reunite with my family!

Homelessness is more than just not having a place to live.

That's why recovery needs to be complex: to address the underlying causes of a person's homelessness and prevent it from happening to them again.

We're constantly changing to meet the needs of everyone we support

By meeting people where they're at, rather than expecting them to fit a mould not designed for them, we can have a much greater impact

'Rather than demonising & criminalising rough sleepers, we should be addressing the reasons why they are on the street in the first place.' Nickie Aiken MP for Cities of London & Westminster
A criminal record just makes it harder for people to rebuild their lives & get out of homelessness politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

Marina helps people to find volunteering, training and jobs.

One of these people was Jamie, who has left homelessness behind and is now living a more stable life. As you can see, he remembers Marina fondly 💙

We need you to contact your MP!

By showing them that you care, it's more likely that they will encourage their party to prioritise ending homelessness.

To make it as easy as possible, we have drafted a template letter you can use as a starting point 👇

Homelessness is complex. So it needs complex solutions.

The wraparound we offer is a unique kind of support that combines housing support with mental health care, substance abuse treatment and more.

This support is tailored to each person's needs, so they get the right help.

Yesterday, our CEO Pam and others discussed the story of Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet

It's a beautiful song sung by a person who slept rough in the 1970s and highlights the importance of hope in dark times.

In the last year, we've housed nearly 200 people. But we know this isnt enough.

Thats why, with you're support we want to make London a city where no one sleeps rough.
