How we helped Mitchell off the streets

Mitchell who was previously homeless posing in his new flat with this dog. Donate to charity today to help people like Mitchell.

After his relationship broke down, Mitchell became street homeless . He had left school at an early age and had no education to fall back on. There was nowhere to turn, and he didn’t know how to ask for help.

“Single Homeless Project has given me a life. I now have a place to call home.

This house feels like a million pounds. It’s a foundation for which I’m so thankful. Having come from nothing and waking up and living in carparks, it feels like a palace to me.

I’m looking forward to working again. I know it’s going to be hard, but if I can overcome homelessness, I can do anything”

How many people are facing homelessness in London?

Every 8 and a half minutes one Londoner is forced into homelessness.

In winter 2021, we reported that one Londoner is forced into homeless every 11 minutes. Last year, that figure became just 8 and a half minutes. This year? The situation is set to worsen yet again.

Why we exist

Logo of Single Homeless Project

We began in 1975 when a group of six homeless men in London teamed up to create the change they wanted to see. An end to rough sleeping and the cold, hard floors of warehouses – and a city where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

Today, we are the largest homeless charity dedicated to helping Londoners in crisis. Every year, we help over 10,000 Londoners to leave homelessness behind, to be seen, to be heard, and find a place to call home.
