Homelessness can happen to anybody – causes include relationship breakdown, financial pressures such as the loss of a job, mental illness or problems with drug and alcohol addiction.

St Mungo’s is one of the UKs largest charities helping homeless people, working in London and the South. Since 1969, we have been supporting some of the most vulnerable and excluded people in society. The people we help have often led traumatic lives, with 90% suffering from more than four complex needs, a cause and a consequence of their homelessness.

We run services day and night to help homeless people change their lives and escape homelessness for good. We house over 1,500 homeless people in our accommodation every night, and we provide support with physical and mental health needs, drug and alcohol issues and help getting back into education, training and employment. 

Our approach is to ensure that homeless people can help themselves. By looking at people’s strengths as well as their needs, we aim to help them achieve their goals and move forward with their lives

Of course, we couldn’t possibly accomplish this without the help of our supporters.
