Single Homeless Project

Single Homeless Project Working to prevent homelessness and help Londoners to transform their lives. Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity.

Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life. We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a differen

ce to 10,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs. Our Values

Clients hold the key - as an organisation founded by homeless people, we believe in the fundamental right of every individual to take control of their lives. Tailoring support to their needs and aspirations, we work with people to build their capacity for self-determination, so that they can shape their own futures. Going the extra mile - we go the extra mile for the people we work with, many of whom have multiple and complex needs for which there are no quick and easy fixes. We keep working with people no matter how challenging it may be, and we don’t give up on them. People, not problems - we see our clients as people, not problems. As well as offering practical support, we believe it’s essential to give people the opportunity to discover a sense of purpose, to grow in confidence, express themselves and build meaningful relationships. A voice for change - we are committed to tackling the underlying causes of homelessness and social exclusion, and we will use what we learn to make the case for prevention and systemic change. We are also passionate about promoting the voices of homeless and vulnerable people, whose stories often go unheard. Supporting staff - we maintain a culture in which staff are respected, supported, and listened to. We value the contribution of all staff and we are a diverse organisation that pulls together, in a spirit of mutual trust and co-operation. We encourage creativity and new ideas, prizing innovation as a means of achieving our mission. Honest and open - we are honest and open in our dealings with clients, staff, partners, supporters and other stakeholders. We will do what we say we will do, and we will strive to communicate proactively and transparently.

Imagine you're 17. You've just come out to your family... and suddenly, home doesn't feel like home anymore.

Silence. Stares. Shouting. A slammed door.

For far too many LGBTQIA+ young people, this is reality.

We see it every day: young people told there's no place for them at home, forced to move from sofa to sofa, or even onto the streets, simply for being who they are.

At Single Homeless Project, we walk alongside young people rebuilding their lives after trauma. We don't just provide housing. We offer the understanding, stability and support they need to feel safe, valued and heard.

Every young person deserves:
🛏️ A safe place to rest.
💬 A voice that's heard.
🌱 A future they get to choose.

We can't undo the pain they've experienced. But we can show up, again and again, with care, support and the space to heal.

Everybody deserves a safe and secure place to call home.

Not a random list.

A snapshot of the hidden places where women sleeping rough are forced to stay.

To avoid violence, abuse and exploitation, these women stay out of sight. But being hidden often means being overlooked by the services designed to help them.

Alongside Solace Women's Aid, our women’s rough sleeping helps reveal the true scale of women’s homelessness, so more women can get the support they need and move away from the streets for good.

We'll be covering the latest findings from the 2025 census later this week...

A fresh haircut can do more than change how you look. It can change how you feel.

That's why we were delighted to welcome Blue Tit back to one of our women's services last month.

Their team of stylists took the time to provide haircuts and a day of self-care for the women we support, helping them feel seen, valued and cared for.

It was wonderful to see so many women walk away smiling, feeling more confident, looking their best and ready to take on the day.

Thank you, Blue Tit, for helping make such a positive difference.

We're proud to be leading Camden’s rough sleeping outreach service as part of a new six-year partnership with the London Borough of Camden.

By bringing housing, mental health, and drug & alcohol specialists together in one place, we're making it easier for people sleeping rough to get the support they need.

Most importantly, we're committed to helping people access support earlier, working with key partners and reducing the devastating impact of long periods spent sleeping on the streets and helping more Londoners leave the streets behind for good.

The words we use shape how we understand abuse.

When people hear domestic violence, they often think only of physical harm. But many survivors experience a wider pattern of abuse.

That's why we often use domestic abuse as an umbrella term. It includes:

💬 Coercive control
🧠 Psychological and emotional harm
💷 Financial control
🚫 Isolation and intimidation
⚠️ Physical violence too

Domestic violence is part of domestic abuse, but abuse is not always physical.

Words carry power. Let's use them to recognise abuse properly and connect survivors with the support they need.

💬 "You learn where you can sleep. You learn where you can go. People show you the places. A doorway, a bin shed, somewhere hidden."

For years, this was Natalie's reality. Experiencing homelessness and addiction, she spent her days hustling to survive and searching for somewhere safe to sleep.

Today, she sees that the same determination that helped her survive is helping her build a better future.

💬 "My support worker actually sat down and listened. She heard me, and she felt me. There have been slips with my recovery. But the difference now is that I deal with it. I don’t disappear.”

With the right support, Natalie began rebuilding her confidence, reconnecting with family, and creating a life she once thought was out of reach. 💜

Now, she has a home she proudly calls her "little palace" and is looking for ways to help others. ✨

💬 "I want to give back. Helping people makes me feel good."

We’re so proud of you, Natalie!

“A lost generation” is the phrase being used as the number of young people not in education, employment or training reaches a 12-year high. 🚨

But young people are not lost. Too often, they simply haven't been given the opportunities, support or pathways they need to thrive.

We know many of the young people we support want the chance to build a different future. They want to work, continue their education and achieve their goals. 🎯

That's why our specialist Young Person Education, Training and Employment (ETE) team works alongside young Londoners to help turn those ambitions into reality. 🤝

Through one-to-one support, careers events, employability workshops and practical guidance, young people build confidence, develop new skills and access opportunities in education, training and work.

Let's not write our future generations off, but take this headline as motivation to invest in our young people.

Homelessness shouldn’t be a crime. ❌

But under the Vagrancy Act, people can still be criminalised simply for trying to survive — fined, moved on, and pushed further away from support.

It creates a cycle of fear and instability, where people are less likely to seek support and more likely to be trapped on the streets. Outdated and deeply damaging. 😔

Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. ❤️

“What would you do if you were invisible?” 🫥

Most people imagined freedom. Fun. Curiosity. 👀

But for many people experiencing homelessness, invisibility isn’t imaginary. It’s daily life.

We took to the streets to ask strangers one simple question: How would that actually feel? And how can we make people on the streets feel seen and heard?

Hot weather can kill people sleeping rough.

Long days in direct sun, nights on hot pavements and very little access to water, shade, toilets or somewhere safe to rest.

Looking out for your fellow Londoners could save lives. ❤️

Say hello. Offer water if you can. Share sun cream, a hat or an umbrella. Help someone find shade. Contact StreetLink if you’re worried about someone. And if someone is in immediate danger, call 999.
