Marking 25 Years

The year 2025 marked 25 years of Glass Door Homeless Charity providing services to people experiencing and at risk of homelessness in London.  

It’s a time to reflect on our grassroots heritage and history; to recognise our unique position and integral role in London’s homeless sector; and to shine a light on the people, experiences and activities that brought us to where we are today. We are marking 25 years of existence as a small but mighty organisation rooted in community, which looks forward in its vision and works towards a world where no one experiences homelessness in London.
