🚨🚨Spires needs you🚨🚨 Lambeth has the fourth highest recorded number of rough sleepers in London. In response to rising levels of homelessness, including more people experiencing homelessness for the first time, Spires now delivers drop-in and outreach services across Lambeth in Brixton, Stockwell, Streatham and West Norwood. We have just 13 days to hit our crowdfunder target 🎯 Otherwise we risk losing vital pledged match-funding of £2,500! You can help us secure this much needed funding by reacting/commenting on the post, sharing with your networks or donating https://lnkd.in/evrbQHXq Thank you for your support 💪💕
About us
Spires has been working with homeless and disadvantaged people in Streatham, South London, since 1990. We work with over 800 vulnerable men and women a year, to support them to move towards greater stability and independence. Our vision is to provide the best guidance and support we can to those in need. We want our users to be encouraged and take advantage of the opportunities we offer. Many of our service users are homeless, have insecure accommodation or are facing complex issues such as long-term unemployment, poor mental & physical health or are dealing with substance abuse. We offer our advice and support, highlighting the steps they should take to turn their lives around and provide them with hope of a new beginning. Spires offers a range of services which aim to help inspire vulnerable people to address the issues they are facing and work with us to overcoming them. • Our housing and homelessness space supports clients to gain and maintain stable accommodation through the provision of targeted key working at the centre. The service also provides warm food and drinks in the mornings. • Our Specialist Women’s Service allows our staff to engage with women at risk and address issues they are facing regarding their health, safety and well-being. • Our Spires Streetlink service provides support to people engaged in street-based sex work in South London. This service is delivered through nigh time outreach with the offer of further support at the centre. • Our Integrated Welfare Advice Service works in partnership with SLAM to support psychiatric inpatients and offers ongoing support at the point of discharge Twitter: https://twitter.com/spireslondon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpiresLondon Newsletter sign up: http://eepurl.com/H5MX9

29th August 2023 marked a new service at Spires. We opened our drop-in for homeless & disadvantaged clients in the West Norwood community at St Luke’s Church. One year on, we have supported 212 people in this community who were in desperate need. Whether with housing, benefits or health, Spires staff have helped all these people with the objective to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in this community. “It is such a joy and a privilege to host Spires at St Luke's West Norwood. There are so many people that need so much love and support, and Spires has a very experienced team available to offer direction, advocacy, wisdom and kindness. Our partnership with Spires means that we can stay focused on the mission of the church, while providing a space for specialist community services that help the most isolated and vulnerable in our parish.” St Luke’s Church. If you want to show your support to help Spires continue such work, please donate - https://lnkd.in/eUHXKRVy We need to raise just over £1,000 in the next month to hit our target. Every donation will make a difference! #homeless #homelessness #endhomelessness #lambeth #london #community #westnorwood #charity #thursdaythoughts #church #donate #donatenow #donations #donatetoday #makeadifference #fundraising #anniversary

If you are local to Lambeth or a resident and want to help get more people off the streets then show your support to the work Spires does and together we can address homelessness in Lambeth.

Great experience for Spires staff to attend the West Norwood Feast on Sunday 4th August. We spoke to the local community to spread the word about the work Spires is doing at St Luke’s Church helping those in the community who are in need. We are just shy off a year since we opened our service in West Norwood and have so far helped over 210 different people who were either homeless or at risk of homelessness, across 107 sessions in total. The West Norwood Feast is a community feast on the first Sunday of every month, taking place outside St Luke’s Church. We will have a stall there in the months of September, November & December for the rest of the year. If you are local to West Norwood, come along and enjoy a wonderful community occasion - https://lnkd.in/ewjy7NRR.
