1.19|In the financial period, Streets of London
provided £150,000 in extra funding to
registered charities working to support
homeless people in London.
The charity made grants to fund the
following 10 projects:
**Specialist help and advice (£15,000**
**grant)**
Basic things such as food, shelter, a
shower, clean clothes and medical care are
often the first priority for someone
experiencing homelessness, but beyond
these things people may need tailored
support to overcome any underlying issues
that have led to them becoming or
remaining homeless.
The issues facing a person experiencing
homelessness are as individual as they are,
so one-to-one support and advice can be
crucial for helping people off the streets. At
the Upper Room in Shepherd’s Bush,
people can access specialist one-to-one
advice to help them access the support and
services they need, with a personalised| approach that addresses their individual needs. Services include housing advice to arrange accommodation, support around complex needs (including mental health and alcohol/substance use), employment support, art therapy and a range of health and wellbeing sessions. They also have individual counselling and multi-lingual volunteers on hand to translate/interpret where necessary. **Hospital discharge support (£15,000 grant)** For most of us, if we have been in hospital for an operation and are ready to be discharged, we know that we will be able to recover in the safety and comfort of home. When someone doesn’t have a home to go to, leaving hospital can be a very vulnerable time when they are at significant risk of ending up back on the streets, where they would face the prospect of having to recover under very tough circumstances. Providence Row’s Routes to Roots programme works closely with hospitals and vulnerable clients to make sure that when someone is discharged from the hospital they are supported into accommodation, providing them with a safe, secure environment in which they can recover. **Women’s Sanctuary (£15,000 grant)** Many women who become homeless are escaping domestic abuse, and then risk further violence on the streets (where three in ten female rough sleepers become victims of sexual violence at some point while homeless). As a result, women are often less visible among the homeless community - they may keep themselves out of sight for safety, and some avoid using homelessness services as they may feel unsafe around men. The new women’s sanctuary at the 999 Club in Lewisham provides a safe and inclusive female-only space where women experiencing homelessness can receive personal support from other women, and have a voice in shaping the services provided. Women are enabled to access the wide range of support services provided by charity and partner organisations, helping them to move forward and take control of their lives. **Developing skill and opportunities (£15,000 grant)** For many people, a paid job is one of the most reliable routes out of homelessness. As well as earning money they can live on, people feel useful by being back in the workplace and can quickly regain their sense of self-worth, as well as gaining a social network. Getting to that point can be a long journey for some people though. There can be practical issues such as lack of permanent address, clean clothes and access to phone and internet; personal barriers such as mental health issues, addiction, lack of confidence; as well as a need for developing skills. The Connection at St Martin’s provides an opportunities and skills programme where a career coach works one-to-one with clients, developing trusting relationships to help them fulfil their aspirations, whether that’s getting into work or volunteering somewhere, or developing their knowledge and/or skills though education and training. Support includes help with preparing a CV and online job-searching, as well as smart clothes, travel costs and interview coaching, replacing lost/stolen ID and paying for any necessary certificates/skills training, then continued support when the person starts work. **One-to-one support (£15,000 grant)** Permanent change for people who are homeless relies on them feeling empowered to transform their own lives. At Shelter from the Storm, a case-worker works one-to-one with guests to develop an individual, holistic support plan and help them find their personal path out of homelessness. The well-being of each guest is prioritised to ensure that they feel safe and supported, while working with them to set goals and a route to achieving them. The primary aim for most is to help those who are able into employment, and from there into their own accommodation. Others may need other types of support before they are ready to work, but everyone is given a chance to grow and develop individually. When someone is given the individual attention that their particular situation requires, they have a far better chance of being able to move beyond their circumstances and escape from homelessness to a more positive future. **Digital inclusion (£15,000 grant)** So many essential parts of our everyday lives now rely on internet access, and people experiencing homelessness need adequate access to it to apply for jobs, housing and benefits; to book appointments; to connect and communicate with others, and to develop new skills. Ace of Clubs in Clapham provides for the immediate needs of people who are homeless, and also aims to connect them with a wide range of other services, which very often requires the availability of adequate technology and support in using it. A focus on digital inclusion means that clients can access the online services they need and also develop their IT skills, increasing their confidence in using technology - something vital in today’s world. **Life skills and language for homeless young people (£15,000 grant)** Young people leaving care and unaccompanied refugee children are two vulnerable groups particularly at risk of becoming homeless. Lack of a permanent address and stable social networks, sometimes along with experience of trauma, can make them especially vulnerable to destitution and exploitation. At the Cardinal Hume Centre in Westminster, these young people are given a stable and welcoming place to stay, where they can receive support in developing practical life-skills such as cooking, shopping, home and financial management (budgeting, paying bills etc), with English language lessons for those who need them. There is also a focus on communication skills, living as part of a community and conflict resolution, as well as understanding their rights and responsibilities. Besides learning these new skills, this support also enables young people to develop relationships and build selfconfidence and self-reliance, all of which helps to improve their chances for the future as they move towards independent living. **Addiction recovery (£15,000 grant)** Addiction can be hugely destructive. Nearly a third of people sleeping rough in London have alcohol support needs and roughly the same proportion have substance addiction. Together, these things account for roughly half of the homeless deaths in the capital. Acorn House - part of Spitalfields Crypt Trust in Shoreditch - offers its residents a safe and supportive place to come and recover from addiction, and leave behind chaotic lives where many of them have suffered through homelessness, trauma and/or mental health issues. The hostel’s counselling team delivers intensive addiction and trauma therapy, and there are opportunities for developing skills and training, as well as creative outlets. Most residents stay 6-9 months and leave sober, housed and with a sense of possibility and hope for the future. **Migrant support (£15,000 grant)** Among people sleeping rough who come from non-EU countries, some face immigration issues that prevent them from accessing housing, employment and other support. Sources of support to resolve these issues are generally very limited. Some of these people have suffered exploitation such as trafficking, and many need additional support in other areas to end their homelessness. At Glass Door in Chelsea, a dedicated migrant case-worker meets with individuals one-to-one, employing specialist immigration knowledge to support them in resolving any immigration issues that are contributing to their homelessness |||situation, as well as helping them to receive
any support they made need in other areas.
**Participation and progression**
**programme (£15,000 grant)**
Insight from people who have experienced
homelessness is crucial when developing
new policies and support structures to help
people who are currently on the streets.
Groundswell in Lambeth trains people with
experience of homelessness to become
volunteers, giving them practical and
professional knowledge to help them
progress in their lives. Volunteers develop
new research to inform the homeless
sector’s policy development, feeding into
reports which influence policy change at the
highest levels, improving wider
understanding of homelessness and the
issues people face. Other volunteers there
accompany people who are currently
homeless to hospital appointments.
All of these people are able to participate in
the work of the organisation while also
being supported to progress individually.
They receive pastoral, employment,
financial, legal and welfare support; and
they in turn help to support others who are
currently homeless. They are able to move
forward with their own lives, while also
making a real difference to others.
In addition to making these grants, 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
about the issue.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

STREETS OF LONDON SLEEP-OUT 2021
120 people registered for the Streets of
London Sleep-Out in 2021 (a number we
had to limit to ensure everyone’s safety
during the coronavirus pandemic) and
raised an amazing £58,000 between them!| 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 acknowledge with gratitude the corporate support the charity was lucky enough to receive during the year from a number of valued partners. INDIVIDUALS FUNDRAISING A big thank you to all the individual fundraisers who supported the charity during the year by taking on various challenges to raise money in support of people experiencing homelessness in the capital. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

In addition to this, in financial years where

raised, Streets of London aims to reserve a
proportion of the funds after making grants,
to safeguard the charity’s ability to maintain
the level of grants to homelessness
projects in future years, even in the event
that future income is lower.
Reserving funds in this way results in being
