Your Place

Your Place is a charity dedicated to solving homelessness in east London, one person at a time.

We’re here to offer hope, a home and a healing place to grow, where people who’ve lost their homes can get the individual support they need within a safe, caring community. Our mission is to build hope and enable lasting change to end homelessness for people in east London. We’re a growing charity, helping people who’ve lost their homes to regain their self-belief and rebuild their lives. We work

closely with each person who comes through our doors, guiding them to meet their own needs through one-to-one and peer-led support. With specialist teams and a compassionate community around them, residents make their own journey to independent living — and to a better place.

Extreme heat is forecast again today, and an amber weather warning has been issued for Canning Town 🌡

Heatwaves don't affect everyone equally. For people sleeping rough or living in insecure accommodation, there is often no escape from the heat. ☀

If you're out and about today, there are simple ways you can support people on the street and help keep them safe.

Please help by sharing this post 🧡

After experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping, many people can feel lonely and isolated

Alongside the practical support we provide, the small day-to-day interactions matter just as much

For S, a simple gesture made him feel seen, valued and cared for, and ultimately helped save his life 🍫

With your support, we’re transforming lives one action at a time, one person at a time 🧡

After Charlotte was made homeless at 19, she came to Your Place, where she found stability, support, and a space of her own

Earlier this year, she moved into one of our resettlement flats and is now looking ahead to an exciting future 💫

Every year, we help hundreds of people like Charlotte move beyond homelessness and make a fresh start

We've joined Homeless Link and over 75 other homelessness organisations to sign a joint letter to Prime Minister Andy Burnham, urging him to push ahead with a pledge to deliver a national Housing First philosophy.

By developing the Harbour Project, our own Housing First congregate service, we have seen the positive impact of Housing First and its potential to transform homelessness support.

We stand ready to work with the Government to turn this ambition into action.

A roof over someone’s head isn’t what makes a home, and it isn’t what solves homelessness.

People who have experienced homelessness need places to recover, spaces where they can rebuild and dedicated support so they can plan for the future

That’s what we offer to all our residents at Your Place 🧡

Asifa has worked at Your Place for eight years.

Starting as a temporary member of our Customer Services team, progressing to a permanent role, and now stepping into a new role as an Assistant Support Worker at the Harbour Project - she’s always been at the heart of resident support 🧡

"I loved working in the Customer Services team. I am a very chatty, friendly person, so I loved connecting with residents. Now at the Harbour Project, I work with residents to support their development and growth.

Your Place makes a big difference. I see people go from being in crisis to being independent and confident. I feel lucky to work here and play a part in that."

A big thank you to Asifa for her commitment and hard work

It is always amazing to see residents reconnect with their hobbies and interests after experiencing homelessness 🧡

Homelessness takes away far more than just a stable home – it can also affect people’s confidence, self-esteem and sense of self. That’s why creating opportunities for residents to get involved in activities is so important to recovery. 🎨

Our weekly photography walk is giving residents the chance to explore the local area, be creative and enjoy time outside. 🌷

Take this as your sign to step outside and do something creative this week!📸

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting someone out of homelessness

Anna and our team of support workers work alongside each resident to provide the personalised support they need to recover, rebuild and thrive

For this resident, small acts of kindness and the community around him made all the difference to his mental health and wellbeing.

You can help more people like S find a safe, stable home and the support they need to move forward. Make a monthly or one-off donation today, starting at just £3

Award-winning housing! 🥳

We're delighted to have won the East London Community Heroes Award for Outstanding Initiative in Tackling Homelessness and to have been shortlisted for Outstanding Initiative in Mental Health Support for our Harbour Project 🧡🏡

We opened the Harbour Project last year, and through the Housing First model, we provide long-term, community-based support to people whose needs cannot be met through short-term accommodation or unsupported housing. Since opening, we've seen incredible outcomes.

Residents now have a safe, stable home where they can connect with others and have the time and space they need to rebuild their lives. Our flexible, person-centred approach helps people move forward at their own pace and create positive futures.

A big thank you to Rotary Stratford for celebrating this project 🌟

"By then, I had lost everything – my job, my belongings, my home and my mind."

Struggling with mental health issues while experiencing homelessness leaves people feeling isolated, overwhelmed and alone.

For Alina*, a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia led to months of sleeping rough. She struggled to look after herself, stay connected to others and take an active role in her own life.

Now, at Your Place, Alina has found safety, stability and a supportive community. She's happy again and is rediscovering her hobbies and interests.

Today is Schizophrenia Awareness Day, a chance to raise awareness of one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions and challenge the stigma that many people face.

We're so proud of Alina and the progress she's made to recover and grow. Read her story, in her own words, here: your-place.org.uk/resident-stories/resident-stories-alina/

Alina's name has been changed.
