Winter 2023-2024: Night Shelters

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

Thank you to all of our shelter staff, volunteers, partner community spaces and year-round staff for delivering another year of emergency night shelters, to over 500 guests.

We have an open-access policy, meaning there are no prerequisites to access the shelter. We operated three-night shelter circuits, serving approximately 105 guests (35 in each circuit) each night in Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham and Wandsworth. Our shelters are rotating shelters with seven venues creating the circuit, one for each night of the week.

Once guests are accepted into the shelter, they receive a sleeping bag to keep and use during the length of their stay. The sleeping area is basic with mats on the floor. At the shelters, guests are provided with a hot meal, a safe place to sleep and a breakfast - and access to our Casework Service.
