Beneficiaries
The high cost of living and the housing crisis mean an increasing number of people are facing homelessness in London. People who are rough sleeping or housed in temporary accommodation are destitute and struggle to have regular meals, let alone healthy food. They do not have the means to purchase hygiene products, toiletries and clothing. They lack safe spaces to meet and relax. There are few places that offer wellbeing services for this community.
The Swiss Church has been offering a peaceful and safe space for guests facing destitution for years and our weekly breakfasts are ever more popular, welcoming up to 80 guests. A friendly team of volunteers prepares and serves a generous and healthy breakfast every Tuesday and a cooked breakfast once a month. Two local hair stylists provide free haircuts once a month. We also give out essential products. We provide a space where everyone is welcome and is treated with dignity and respect.
