Story

Established in 1986, the Soup Kitchen is a resource for the homeless, elderly, lonely and vulnerable in London. They are a secular organisation providing free nutritious meals, clothing, toiletries, mental health help and a sense of belonging to nearly 150 people daily. In 2019 they launched Europe's first-ever on-site mental health drop-in centre within a soup kitchen to address their guests' mental health needs. With the help of hundreds of volunteers each year, they aim to provide unprecedented support in a safe and warm environment that welcomes everyone.

The Soup Kitchen does not receive any government assistance and are entirely privately funded, Dependant on a combination of private and corporate donations, grants and trusts to feed & help the homeless. Recent events have heightened the many crippling aspects of homelessness and food poverty that no one should have to endure. 

The footsteps of the homeless walk that we at Lineup will participate in, is a 4-mile walk designed to give an idea of what the average rough sleeper must endure finding food, clothing, safety and shelter each day. 

Starting and ending at the centre on Tottenham Court Road, the route takes the participants past support centres for the homeless in central London, some of which have closed and will never reopen. We will be provided with weighted rucksacks for the journey that we will be carrying. Along the way, we will distribute some of the contents of the rucksacks to rough sleepers that we meet and engage with some of London's most vulnerable people.

£2 will purchase someone a pair of warm socks, so every pound makes a difference. Please give what you can!
