Knight Harwood's Special Works team currently working on the 27 Farm Street project are collaborating with Farm Street Church to support a homeless charity and we would like to enlist your support!

This year has been an incredibly challenging time for everyone, and charities in particular are feeling the effects of the Covid crisis. According to a recent survey, charities are reporting a projected loss of 48% to their voluntary income, and a third wiped off from their total income... that’s a third less money to help those in need, at a time when more people are in need and the dark nights and winter weather is setting in.

On Wednesdays and Saturdays Farm Street Church with volunteers from Central London Catholic Churches provides a sit-down meal for homeless guests in the Arrupe Hall of the London Jesuit Centre. The food is generously provided by local hotels and restaurants including the Connaught, Delfino, L'Autre, Misto, Da Maria and Daylesford Organic.

They will be launching a creative writing workshop for guests from 21st November and in the coming weeks providing access to group therapy sessions through Wilfred Faber Counselling and Support.

The team of volunteers from Central London Catholic Churches has been active throughout the pandemic and has previously provided emergency distribution of refreshments and clothing in Trafalgar Square five days a week and a shower service in Soho.

We would like to do our bit to help so have organised, and will be participating in a 10k run around the city passing as many Knight Harwood projects as possible to raise funds for the charity.

We would be very grateful if you could support us by sponsoring our run and donating to the charity.
