Art plays an important role in aiding homeless people’s recovery and improves self-esteem and well-being. Lesley, who attends the art room, explains the benefits it’s had to her life: “I learnt not just about the art, but how to deal with life. I feel part of life now, I don’t feel so alone any more, and more fulfilled.”

This is complemented by the combination of our excellent location in central London, our accessibility, our user-led approach, our experienced pool of multi-disciplinary staff and volunteers and our creativity and dedication in helping homeless people to move on in their lives and find routes away from the streets.
