to, raise money for and/or volunteer with charities that
support homeless people, and to engender increased
empathy for the plight of people experiencing
homelessness. 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.

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 IMPACT OF GRANTS
During the financial period, the charity
made grants totalling £150,000 to charities
working to support homeless people in
London, thereby having a significant
positive impact on the lives of many people
who have become homeless.
#COMEONHOME PRIZE DRAW 2023
Big names, special music prizes, helping
homeless people. Streets of London's
#ComeOnHome prize draw in May 2023
raised nearly £60,000 to provide vital
immediate help for people experiencing
homelessness, as well as longer-term
support so that people can escape the
streets for good.
More than 3,000 people entered the draws,
which featured some incredible prizes from
artists including Arctic Monkeys, Bastille,
Coldplay, Duran Duran, Florence + The
Machine, Frank Turner, Freya Ridings,
Lewis Capaldi, Mark Knopfler, Paul
McCartney, Stormzy, The Vaccines and
The 1975.
Among the amazing prizes on offer were a
trip to New York to see Bastille, a trip to
Las Vegas to see Duran Duran, a Gibson
Les Paul guitar signed by Streets of
London ambassador Mark Knopfler, a
Revolver super deluxe boxset signed by Sir
Paul McCartney, a chance to meet
Coldplay and many more.
NIGHT WALK 2023
150 people signed up for Streets of
London’s first night walk in July 2023. The
event was a great success, with each
person who took part fundraising in support
of the charity.
Participants walked through central London
on a 10-mile route that included many of
the capital's best-known sights including
Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, the

Houses of Parliament and Shakespeare's Globe. SLEEP-OUT 2023 More than 180 people registered for the Streets of London Sleep-Out in October 2023 and raised an amazing £50,000+ between them! The charity’s annual sleep-out is an excellent 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.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 At the end of the financial period, the
charity held cash at the bank of £83,676, of
which £69,429 was unrestricted funding.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Streets of London aims to hold at least
£5,000 in reserves at the year end, in order
to meet any unforeseen costs and cover
expenditure that may be required.
In addition to this, in financial years where
a significantly high level of funds has been
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, in the event that
future income is lower in some years.
Reserving funds in this way results in being
able to provide a more reliable, consistent
level of project funding from year to year.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £69,429 of unrestricted funds, £14,247 of
restricted funds
