Glass Door Homeless Charity

Helping People Experiencing Homelessness in London

 

Glass Door Homeless Charity was founded twenty five years ago when several churches in Chelsea came together to open their doors and offer shelter, hearty food, and a genuine warm welcome to homeless people one night a week. 

Based in London, Glass Door co-ordinates a network of open-access services for people affected by homelessness. Year-round people find advice and support to end their homelessness through trained caseworkers. During the hard winter months Glass Door also provides emergency winter shelters. 

Last year Glass Door Homeless Charity saw the highest number of guests ever recorded - supporting 2,524 people facing homelessness in London. 

Since 2012 Glass Door has organised an annual sponsored 'Sleep Out' which takes place on the first Friday in October in Duke of York Square, Chelsea or you can join in and sleep remotely in your house or garden. Each year Glass Door also launches a Christmas Appeal as it believes no one should have to sleep on the street, especially at Christmas.

Testimonials

 

 

Here is what Violet, who was a Glass Door guest, had to say about the charity: “If it was not for them, I wouldn't have a house. I'd be still roaming on the street out there, here, there and everywhere. I always tell others who are struggling that this is a good place to come. If they are homeless, they can come here and they will get help.”
