Last year WLM helped 249 street homeless people into safe accommodation, but we rely on donations to make sure our vital work can continue. Support our annual Sleep Out on Friday 26th October, and help us to assist homeless people off the streets, and onto a better chapter in their lives. 

Homelessness continues to be a growing problem. In the last year, numbers of rough sleepers in London has increased for the eighth consecutive year by another 18%. WLM Seymour Place offers community and assistance to those who are sleeping rough. We provide a space of opportunity that is safe, employing a dual relief system of both immediate respite care and long-term housing solutions for our clients.  

“I knew that the magic was here the moment I walked in. The project workers were confident that I was going to change my situation. Their confidence in me meant that I had a responsibility myself to get through this period.” J, client at WLM Seymour Place, now living in private rented accommodation   

WLM's Sleep Out is an opportunity to be sponsored by friends, family and contacts, sleeping out for one night so that others don't have to. 

"From the moment we arrived it was clear that we were not going to experience the hardship of those who sleep rough... It was one night for us. It's every night for the many homeless men and women who sleep alone on our streets."  Sleep Out Participant, 2017 

During 2016/17, 1517 different individuals were supported by WLM Seymour Place 956 new client assessments completed 248 clients were helped into accommodation 776 users saw the on-site NHS Health Team.
