WLCHC runs London’s largest winter night shelter. Thirty-five men and women access the shelters every night during the coldest months of the year, and many more share a warm meal. We also offer showers, laundry facilities, and second-hand clothing at our base in Chelsea.

Many of our homeless guests are helped by a caseworker who is on hand to offer advice and practical support. In the 2009-2010 season, we were able to help 48 guests move into more permanent accommodation. Many more are helped to find jobs or referred to appropriate services.

The project is supported by over 300 volunteers who not only help make and serve food, but sit with guests during meals.

Funding comes from charitable trusts, numerous local churches, businesses and many individuals who feel moved to support our work. Their generosity allows us to continue to serve the most vulnerable in the community.
