03. What are the shelters like?

Our 2023-24 Shelter Season has come to a close on 7th April.

During the Winter season, our shelters run every night across three circuits in South & Southwest London.

The shelters exist as a safe, warm space to get off the streets, have some food and speak to a caseworker.

We have an open-access policy, meaning there are no prerequisites to access the shelter. A new sleeping bag and a mat is provided on the first night of stay, and dinner and breakfast are provided every day. Those who stay with us must be able to attend regularly, or they lose their spot. As the location changes each night, there is no space to store your items during the day, and you must always keep your items with you.

Staff are available all throughout the night to ensure your safety.
