Every day, across all 32 London boroughs, Single Homeless Project (SHP) staff walk alongside individuals at their most vulnerable moments — stepping in to prevent eviction, guide someone off the street, support entry into drug or alcohol treatment, assist with mental health, or help them find a stable job and a place to call their own. They don’t just respond to crisis — they dig deep to tackle the root causes of homelessness, from poor mental health and addiction to structural barriers that trap people at the margins.

Since its founding in the 1970s, SHP has grown to support over 10,000 Londoners each year with compassion, expertise, and a belief in second chances. Their approach is not one-size-fits-all — instead, they build trusted relationships centered on each person’s strengths and potential, helping them heal, find stability, and move toward self-sufficiency.

Why We Need Your Support

Homelessness in London is escalating, and the pressures on public funding are immense. Our ambition is bold: to scale SHP’s reach, deepen its impact, and ensure that no one slips through the cracks. But we cannot do it alone. Your gift will enable:

(1) Rapid intervention — to prevent someone from losing their home in the first place

(2) Life-changing support — for those already on the streets to access the help they need

(3) Pathways to independence — helping clients into meaningful work and secure housing

(4) Healing & resilience — by addressing mental health, addiction, and trauma

Every pound you give is more than a donation: it’s hope restored, a lifeline extended, dignity returned.

Join Us in Making Change Possible

When you donate, share, or rally your community, you become part of something bigger than any one person. You help break cycles of crisis and restore futures of stability. Let’s make London a place where everyone has a home — and a second chance.

Thank you for believing in people. Thank you for helping write a different story.

I have decided to raise funds through all my runs starting Valencia Marathon in Dec-25 to London Marathon in Apr-26; with a few short half marathons and an ultra marathon in Jul-26 for which I need your support!
