Who we are Publications Reports and accounts Reports Supporting women experiencing homelessness, 2023-24 A report highlighting our gender-informed services and spaces for women At Glass Door, holding space for women and delivering services with a gender-informed approach is crucial to supporting women on their route out of homelessness. The increase in demand for women’s spaces has been a consistent trend year on year. Last year, our 2023-24 Winter Night Shelter season saw the very first Women’s Shelter. From our Women’s Shelter stemmed a weekly drop-in Casework service for our guests who preferred a 1to1 service in a single gender space. This report spotlights the importance of our women’s spaces and services. It reflects on the experiences of, and challenges faced by, our women guests and Caseworkers, and celebrates the positive outcomes of the hard work they did together. Download the report Latest Annual Review In the past 12 months Glass Door has seen an unprecedented rise in the cost of living, rents in London going through the roof and the number of those recorded as being homeless continue to grow. The demand for our help has not diminished and our casework service is busier than ever – in 2022/23, our casework team met with 1,678 individuals, an increase of 17% compared to the previous year. We also welcomed the reopening of our emergency winter shelters and the support of our volunteers across our partner shelter venues in Southwest & West London. This Annual Review gives you insight into the hard work and dedication of our Glass Door teams, volunteers & partner day centres – all of which could not be done without the continued support of our funders, fundraisers & supporters.
