Help secure our future for those who need us most.

SCT began as a simple night shelter and soup kitchen in 1965 and has since grown into a lifeline for thousands of people experiencing addiction and homelessness.

Today we support around 200 people a year offering:

• Residential addictions treatment programme – helping people work through the causes of addiction and homelessness and build strong foundations for a lasting recovery. 
• Supported Housing – guiding residents to manage finances and access debt advice, claim benefits and obtain vital healthcare, as well as manage criminal justice issues, and develop the skills to maintain a tenancy and help secure long-term housing. 
• Training & Development – enabling people to discover new skills, alongside developing confidence and self-esteem. 
• Housing First Services – supporting exceptionally vulnerable adults with a history of long-term homelessness to maintain a tenancy.
• Social Enterprises & Charity Shops – offering employment, community, and a sustainable way to shop.

The Need Has Never Been Greater

We’re looking ahead to the next 60 years, and we need your support to ensure SCT continues changing lives for generations to come.

• Rough sleeping in England has risen by 20% in the last year alone, with 4,667 people estimated to be sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2024. 

• London accounts for 28% of all rough sleeping in England, with 1,318 people recorded as sleeping rough in the city. 

• 94% of frontline homelessness services report that drug and alcohol dependency is a critical issue among their service users. 

For many, recovery feels impossible, but SCT has been proving for 60 years that change is possible.
