Working with Londoners experiencing homelessness

We love what we do and we're passionate about making a difference to the lives of the people we work with.

Single Homeless Project grew out of an understanding of the needs of homeless and socially excluded people in London, and 40 years on, this remains the driving force shaping the organisation today. We work with our clients as equals in a spirit of trust and mutual respect, trying to put their needs and views at the centre of everything we do.

As our staff are our greatest asset, we strive to maintain a culture in which they are supported and listened to, developing services in a responsive and flexible way which draws on the energy, commitment and expertise of our people.
