SPEAR

SPEAR plays a vital role to help end homelessness, finding people rough sleeping and providing support to help people create lasting independence.

We work in the London boroughs of Richmond, Kingston, Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton and Tower Hamlets.

We’re delighted to receive a grant from OneRichmond which will support our work with people facing homelessness within the borough of Richmond. We continue to see people affected by cost of living pressures, a lack of affordable housing and complex support needs. We provide a range of service to tackle rough sleeping in the borough, and to support people to rebuild their lives away from the streets.

Thank you OneRichmond for supporting this vital work!
