Our people

Our Staff 

We have a small dedicated team of staff who oversee the operation and make sure we have the resources and funds to support our guests.  This includes the Director of Hackney Doorways (who run the Hackney Winter Night Shelter), a Shelter Manager and two Advocate Workers who support our guests individually to find a more secure future.

Our Volunteers and Supporters

The real heart of HWNS is our team of over 600 volunteers and co-ordinators who run the shelter each night and work tirelessly to raise funds and awareness of the Shelter and its work.

We are also completely thankful to the ongoing support of the wider community that provide local venues to host the shelter and key services such as; laundry facilities, taxis and health clinics for guests.  Without them there would simply be no shelter.
