How Does it Work?Each night of the week a different church provides a hot meal, a bed and shelter to fifteen guests. A team of over 350 volunteers support this work – hosting, cooking, doing laundry and providing a listening ear. 19 churches currently host.
The project is staffed by a Coordinator appointed each year who liaises between referral agencies, churches, volunteers and guests, and an Advice Worker who meets with the guests, looking to their longer-term support after their time at the Robes Project.

Why
A key motivator for starting the Robes Project was the realisation that there was no church-run emergency night shelter south of the Thames until Croydon.
Street counts can underestimate the extent of homelessness in London. In addition, many people who become homeless are considered 'non-priority' to statutory services and need support to access appropriate services and find longer-term accommodation.
As the months get colder, it gets all the more urgent for people to have a place to stay off the streets.
The Robes Project also makes it a priority to look at the longer-term housing, employment and support needs of our homeless guests |
