An article written by journalists Adrian Lobb, Liam Geraghty and Anita Bhadani for the Big Issue featured 15 charities “working […] to fight homelessness and help people experiencing homelessness”. Included on the list was Glass Door Homeless Charity.

“London charity Glass Door runs the UK’s largest network of open-access shelters for people who are experiencing homelessness.

During 2021 and 2022, the charity provided support to 1,465 people. Last winter, at least 82 of those supported were refugees or asylum seekers, at least 22 were fleeing domestic violence, and 10 were victims of modern slavery.

As well as a place to stay out of the cold, Glass Door offers access to vital essentials like food through a network of churches and community centres as well as the possibility to connect to services that will help people to leave homelessness behind for good.”
