Homeless and need help?
Access help or help someone in need
Guests who stay at our shelters are referred to us by other homeless charities and organisations in Hackney. Our Advocate Workers meet with every potential guest to assess their suitability for the night shelter environment and to ascertain whether we will be able to meet their needs. We are unable to accept self-referrals or walk ins. If you are a service that would like to partner with us as a referring agency, please contact [email protected].
Members of the public can connect people sleeping rough with the local services that can support them.
