About us
Greenwich Homeless Project is a local charity which provides warmth, emergency accommodation and advocacy for people experiencing homelessness in Greenwich. The charity was founded in 2014 by a group of local churches who came together to offer their venues as places of refuge to an increasing number of homeless people in Greenwich. For 6 years, we operated the rotating winter night shelter model until the pandemic paused all operations. We used this an opportunity to renovate and refurbish a building and relaunched from our new venue in January 2022.
Greenwich Homeless Project offers single room emergency accommodation for 13 people from October – March in our Winter Night Shelter. We also run a year-round Day Centre for anyone who is homeless or at risk of homelessness. Both projects are supported by our team of over 100 volunteers.
