Journalists Mike Daw and David Ellis have written an article for the Evening Standard on StreetSmart, highlighting Glass Door as one of the charities it supports.

StreetSmart “adds an optional £1 donation to diners’ bills” at participating restaurants, and has raised £750,000 for homeless charities.

The article quotes Glass Door’s CEO, Jo Carter:

As temperatures plummet, it is becoming life-threatening to be sleeping on the street. Glass Door’s vital night shelter circuits are open to provide those with nowhere else to go somewhere safe and warm to sleep. We’re proud to have been working with StreetSmart for 15 years. This year, their donation could support 50 guests to stay in our emergency winter night shelter for one week.
