## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From** 01/04/20 **Period start date To** 31/03/21 **Period end date** **Charity name:** Streets of London ## **Charity registration number:** 1155242 ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objects of the CIO are:
(1) To relieve poverty, sickness and
distress amongst homeless people
in London in particular but not
exclusively by the provision of
grants
(2) The advancement of education of
the public in the subject of
homelessness| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|In the financial period, Streets of London
provided £45,250 in extra funding to
registered charities working to support
homeless people in London during the
Covid-19 pandemic.
During 2020-21, many homeless day
centres were forced into limiting or making
significant changes to their services during
the pandemic and had to be resourceful in
findings new ways to keep providing
support.
Given the exceptional situation, the trustees
decided that rather than providing project
funding in the way it normally does, the
charity would provide small grants to
partner charities that we knew were still
open and operating, to provide them with
flexible emergency funding so they could
continue to help homeless people through
this challenging time.
Shortly after the pandemic began - in early
April 2020 - Streets of London made a
series of grants totalling £10,000 in
emergency funding, shared between the
five following charities: The Connection at| St Martin's, Homeless Action in Barnet, SPEAR, The Passage, Providence Row. During the year, charity partners helped homeless people by: • Finding emergency accommodation for rough sleepers and providing ongoing support to them while there. • Providing support to clients remotely in many cases, keeping in contact by phone, WhatsApp and Zoom so they could continue to offer advice, advocacy and emotional support in a Covid-safe way. • Regular contact provided a support network for people, letting them know they’re not alone, and it meant they could continue to receive vital support around things such as mental health, addiction and employability training, to keep making progress towards longterm recovery. • Many centres continued to offer vital basic support where they could (such as providing a regular hot breakfast, a shower etc). • Outreach teams provided help to rough sleepers still out on the streets, providing food, warm clothing, medical attention, help with collecting medical prescriptions and other support. In February 2021 the charity made grants totalling more than £35,000 to support this work, shared between the following eleven partner charities: Ace of Clubs, C4WS, Homeless Action in Barnet, Providence Row, Shelter from the Storm, Spires, Spitalfields Crypt Trust, The Margins Project, The Upper Room, Whitechapel Mission, 999 Club. In addition to the above, Streets of London helps to raise public awareness about homelessness, with the aim of motivating more people to donate money to, raise money for and/or volunteer with charities that support homeless people, and to engender increased empathy for the plight of homeless people. We do this by distributing information at our events and making information about homelessness available on our website. Further to this, the charity has high-profile ambassadors who publicly express their support for the cause |||and put across some of the key messages

London, thereby having a significant

who have become homeless.
STREETS OF LONDON SLEEP-OUT AT
HOME, OCT 2020
2020 was a challenging year for fundraising
(especially as a charity that relies on
events for a significant proportion of its
income) but our sleep-out at home event
was a great success. Holding the event
virtually in 2020 allowed people to take part
in spite of the various public health
measures in place.
177 people took part in the Streets of
London Sleep-Out At Home, raising an
amazing £40,000+ to help homeless
people in London.
People took part in their own homes. They
grabbed a sleeping bag and slept out in
their garden (where they could) or else on
the floor, giving up the comfort of their bed
for one night in a simple act of solidarity
and raising money to help people sleeping
rough in the capital.
The charity’s annual sleep-out is a great
fundraising opportunity and also a great
awareness-raiser about the cause. As well
as helping to fund homelessness projects
through their fundraising, people taking part
experience (safely) some of the challenges
that homeless people have to face every
night. It’s nothing like the reality of being
homeless of course, but it’s an eye-opener,
an act of solidarity and a great tangible way
people can get involved.
CORPORATE SUPPORT
We would like to take this opportunity to
