Glass Door Homeless Charity

Glass Door Homeless Charity Our vision is a future where no one experiences homelessness in London. http://www.glassdoor.org.uk

We offer advice, shelter and support with our community partners, helping people build a route out of homelessness. As London’s largest emergency winter night shelter, Glass Door provides a safe, warm place to sleep for just under 100 men and women every night in winter -- from November to early April. We are able to do this thanks to partnerships with churches across the boroughs of Hammersmith &

Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea and Wandsworth. Guests experiencing homelessness can also access advice, food, showers and laundry facilities from drop-in day centres. Glass Door not only saves lives by providing refuge from the cold, we also help our guests build more stable futures.

Wake up on World Homeless Day knowing you’ve made a difference to people’s lives.

One night outdoors can't replicate the experience of homelessness but it can spark conversations, raise awareness, and fund the life-changing support that helps people find safety, stability, and hope.

Join Glass Door Homeless Charity’s Sleep Out on Friday 9th October at Duke of York Square, Chelsea and fundraise to help people experiencing homelessness across London.

Empathy is one of the most important tools our Caseworkers have.

Knowing when to listen, when to ask questions, and when to simply be there for someone experiencing homelessness takes patience, compassion and experience.

For Amy, a caseworker at Glass Door, these human skills are just as important as helping someone access housing or benefits.

What is temporary accommodation? 🤔

Temporary accommodation is exactly what it sounds like: somewhere people can stay when they have nowhere else to live while they wait for a permanent home.

It can include hostels, B&Bs, hotels or self-contained accommodation. While it offers vital emergency housing, many people end up staying far longer than intended because affordable, permanent housing isn't always available.

Temporary accommodation provides a roof over someone's head, but it isn't intended to be a long-term solution.

What does "open access" mean?

At Glass Door Homeless Charity, open access means that anyone experiencing or at risk of homelessness can turn to us regardless of who they are or where they are from.

When someone is experiencing homelessness, asking them to navigate complicated systems or long application processes can delay the help they urgently need.

Our open access approach means people can access and receive practical, one-to-one support from our expert Casework team, helping them take the next steps towards a route out of homelessness

Because everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Every day, Caseworkers like Amy, support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness to access housing, benefits, healthcare and the practical support they need to rebuild their lives.

But casework is about so much more than paperwork. It's about listening without judgement, building trust, understanding each person's unique circumstances, and helping our guests take the next step towards safety and stability.

As Amy says: "Homelessness is not a person's whole identity."

At Glass Door, our open access approach means anyone experiencing or at risk of homelessness can speak to a Caseworker without referrals, lengthy forms or unnecessary barriers.

Read Amy's story to discover what it's really like to be a Glass Door Caseworker, the challenges our team faces, and why compassionate, person-centered support matters so much.

Wonder what it’s like being a Glass Door Caseworker?

Read our latest blog written by Amy, who’s been a Caseworker with us since September last year.

“Putting on a bit of a detective’s hat is key to being able to best support each guest. Delivering casework – especially at a drop-in – requires a complete focus and professional curiosity throughout.

A guest will understandably not always feel able to explain everything, they may hint at something or present in a way that our professional judgement needs to be able to pick up as this could be an important part of the picture which will impact how we work together.”
