Earlier this week, our Luna Project brought together women with lived experience and professionals from across Haringey and Enfield to listen, learn and reflect together.

Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences and helped create such an honest, powerful and hopeful afternoon.

The aim of our new Luna Project Team is to respond to both immediate needs on the street, whilst building consistent and trusted relationships that enable women to come and access housing, advice, healthcare, substance misuse services, and through APAP's day centre provision.

This specialist service is helping to reach women who are often less visible within traditional homelessness services, ensuring they have access to practical support, advocacy and opportunities to move towards safety and stability.

To support Alcohol Awareness Week, we asked Aji from one of our partner organisations, Enable Drugs & Alcohol Treatment Services Enfield, to speak about the work they do with APAP to support our clients.

"Alcohol Awareness Week:
Support Without Judgement

Alcohol can play many different roles in people's lives. For some, it may be a way of coping with difficult emotions, trauma, loss, poor mental health, homelessness, isolation, or overwhelming life circumstances. Understanding the reasons behind alcohol use is just as important as understanding the impact it may have.

At Enable, we recognise that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. We take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, meeting people where they are and supporting them without judgement or stigma. Whether someone wants to reduce their drinking, manage withdrawal safely, maintain changes they have already made, or work towards abstinence, support is available.

Many people avoid seeking help because they fear being judged or believe they need to be "ready" to stop drinking completely before accessing support. This is simply not the case. Every conversation about alcohol matters, and every step towards change—no matter how small—is significant.

Our partnership work with organisations such as All People All Places ensures that individuals experiencing multiple disadvantages, including homelessness and complex needs, can access support that is person-centred, flexible, and responsive. By working together, we aim to create safe spaces where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing.

If alcohol is affecting you or someone you know, please remember that support is available. You do not have to face it alone, and there is no wrong time to ask for help.

Recovery starts with a conversation, and that conversation will always be met with understanding, dignity, and respect."

At APAP we love to learn! Here's an insight into some recent sessions our team has taken part in, to grow our skills and strengthen our response to people in housing crisis.

The severe hot weather we’re currently experiencing can be extremely dangerous – even life-threatening for people sleeping rough.

People experiencing homelessness often don’t have easy access to shade, cool indoor spaces, drinking water, showers, or sun protection. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can increase the risk of dehydration, sunburn, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

If you’d like to help someone sleeping rough during hot weather, here are some simple ways you can make a difference:

💦 help them stay hydrated and cool by offering them a cold bottle of water - if you can freeze some bottles and give them out as a cooling aid, even better.

☀ offer sunscreen or other protection from the sun. Umbrellas or hats can provide effective shade.

🚿 provide some baby wipes or other means of freshening up. Without somewhere to wash, existing in this sweaty weather can be seriously uncomfortable!

🕍 share directions to any cool local shady spaces including libraries, day centres, or faith groups.

❗heatstroke is a risk. Signs of heatstroke include seizures, confusion, and loss of consciousness. If you can, help them to somewhere cool and hydrate them. If you are seriously concerned about someone's medical welfare, call an ambulance

👋 most importantly, check in with people you see struggling on the streets. Just engaging with them is meaningful and asking what they need will be appreciated.

APAP's day centre in Pymmes Park is open Tuesday to Thursday and can provide the essentials like water and sun cream for staying safe during periods of extreme heat.

If you see someone sleeping rough and are concerned about their welfare, please contact StreetLink (www.streetlink.org) so local outreach teams can offer support.

We know there are more homeless women out there, but the data hasn't always reflected that. Women often experience homelessness differently from men because of the fear of experiencing violence and stigma on the streets. They will walk around all night, hide in bin sheds, sit in A and E waiting rooms or sleep with unsafe men in exchange for a bed. So when outreach teams go out looking for rough sleepers, they often aren't able to find these women. That is why women are sometimes called 'hidden homeless'.

But thanks to this new method of data collection pioneered by SHP called the women's census, we are now able to see that these hidden women do exist, and do need more help. When we have irrefutable evidence like this, we can call for funding and services to meet that need. 

Services like APAP's new women's outreach project, launching at the end of this month to go out twice a week on street outreach to look for women. We are also creating a new women-only drop in service and providing specialist case work to resolve issues around housing, health and immigration.

We support the continuation of the women's census and the positive impact it is having on the homelessness sector.

As part of Volunteers’ Week 2026 we want to take a moment to celebrate the heart of APAP’s Day Centre – our volunteers!

Our local response to homelessness is only possible because of our community of volunteers who work tirelessly to run the essential services we provide from our Day Centre in Edmonton, North London.

Anyone experiencing housing crisis who walks through our doors is given a warm welcome by Emma, Sharon, Barry, Rodney, Reiyad, Awa and Jakson, who make sure everyone feels safe, seen, and supported. They help people navigate essential services, find a hot meal or takeaway, provide towels for a shower, or access toiletries when they’re needed most. They are often the first face someone sees at our Day Centre, and we are so grateful to have them!

In the kitchen you’ll find Tony, Joy, Berhan, Elsa and Beti preparing delicious breakfasts, soups, sandwiches, and takeaway parcels. Joy will even occasionally surprise us with cakes, cookies, and special meals for workshop participants.

And every so often our OGs Nick and Liz pop in, checking in on the team and offering support wherever it’s needed. They are among the very first volunteers who helped build our services into what they are now.

And this year 3 volunteers have moved into paid roles – a reflection of their dedication and growth within the team.

This year so far, our volunteers have contributed 1,728 hours of support, covering:

• 2,183 client visits
• 461 showers
• 965 breakfasts
• 75 lunches
• 200 laundry washes
• 169 toiletries packs
• 286 clothing and shoe donations
• 181 laptop sessions
• 367 phones charged

To all of our volunteers, from the bottom of our hearts – thank you!

Today is International S*x Workers' Day. This takes place every June 2nd to commemorate the anniversary of a historic 1975 protest, where over 100 s*x workers in Lyon, France went on strike and occupied a local church for 8 days. They were protesting their terrible working conditions, which included police harassment, violence from men, and a lack of access to healthcare.

People continue to commemorate this protest as many of these conditions are still faced by people involved in s*x work today across the globe, showing that there is more work to be done to change laws, reduce stigma and increase access to vital services.

APAP is about to launch a new project which aims to support women involved in s*x work locally in Haringey and Enfield. We will be going out on night-time outreach to meet women where they are working, providing food, condoms and support. We are also opening a new specialist drop-in where we can assist women to access housing, immigration and healthcare services.

We are inspired by the voices and experiences of s*x workers from the past and present, and what happens when women come together in solidarity to demand change.
