The difference you'll make

This year marks 60 years since Christ Church Spitalfields opened the doors of  its crypt as a night shelter and soup kitchen.  We may have changed since those early days, but we remain committed to providing a lifeline to people experiencing addiction and homelessness.

The money you raise will help fund:

  • Our residential addictions treatment programme. A unique programme that fosters positive change and lays the foundations for lasting recovery from addictions.
  • Supported housing, that provides people with a home while they focus on their recovery.
  • Support for people with a long histories of homelessness and complex needs to sustain a long-term tenancy in a self-contained flat. A flat that, for many, is the first stable home in their adult life.
  • Training and development sessions that enable people to discover new skills. Skills that unlock potential and pave the way for a brighter future.

We don’t receive any government funding and rely on the generosity of our supporters to do our life-changing work.

Join us on 9 October to make a life-changing difference.

The Crisis We Face

London is facing a crisis. Last year, 13,231 people were seen sleeping on the streets in London, and 68% were also struggling with an unmet drug, alcohol or mental health needs. And sometimes a combination of all three.

Join us on World Homeless Day to stand in solidarity with those affected, help raise awareness of this growing issue and funds that will help changes lives.

How It Works

  1. Fill out the form and someone from the fundraising team will be in touch.
  2. Set your challenge: Commit to sleeping outside for one night to raise awareness and funds.
  3. Create a fundraising page: Use our JustGiving campaign to set up your page and start collecting donations from family and friends.
  4. Spread the word: Share your fundraising efforts on social media using our templates and tag us to keep in touch.
  5. Celebrate your success: Every penny you raise will make a significant impact.

We need to raise £300,000 during 2025 to keep helping people experiencing homelessness and addiction.

The money you raise by taking part in the sleep out will help us achieve this goal.
