Get help Find Help If you or someone you know is facing homelessness, Glass Door provides the following support: Shelter: Our emergency night shelters are open this winter from 6 November 2017 through to 8 April 2018. We have an open-door policy, meaning anyone can access the shelters and no referral from another organisation is needed. However, we are usually oversubscribed. If you are looking to access the shelter, please ask in person at a drop-in centre associated with Glass Door or find instructions online. Daytime Support: At drop-in centres associated with Glass Door, guests can make an appointment to speak with a caseworker who can provide advice and practical assistance to help find solutions. At the drop-ins, guests can also eat lunch, find clothes, take showers and have laundry washed. At the Chelsea centre, a doctor is on hand Tuesday afternoons to provide medical advice. Volunteers sometimes offer hair cuts. Space is limited, so early arrival is recommended. Our services are best suited to individuals based in South West and West London. See below if you are based in another part of London or the UK.
