We believe each person matters, that everyone deserves a safe home and to feel the hope and joy of Christmas. Yet on Christmas Day, 3,900 children from Westminster and their parents will wake up homeless in temporary accommodation, where insecurity and uncertainty shape every part of daily life.

Early experiences of poverty, trauma and housing instability are the strongest predictors of homelessness in adulthood. This is where the cycle begins - and where it must be broken. The UK is facing a housing crisis, felt most acutely in London. In Westminster over 3,900 children are homeless. This is one of the deepest forms of child poverty, acknowledged as such by Government, costing billions each year.
Homelessness has no one-size-fits-all solution. We provide personalised, tailored support, building trust and offering professional help for lasting change. Our integrated services include a family centre, accommodation for homeless young people, expert advice on housing, welfare, immigration, employment, and therapeutic support. We work to improve education, wellbeing, and to alleviate the damaging effects of poverty and housing instability to help clients build brighter, more stable futures.
