The Salvation Army Homeless Drop-in Centre | Central London

The Salvation Army's Drop-In centre behind Oxford street, one of the most famous streets in London, helps many homeless men and women every day. The staff and volunteers work hard to create a safe and caring environment for anyone looking for food and someone to talk to.

Around 5,000 people visit this Salvation Army centre every year. Of these the vast majority (63 per cent) were sleeping rough.

Staff at the centre provide a weekly programme of activities aimed at engaging clients and providing meaningful respite from the stress of street living, isolation and loneliness. Staff also offer assistance and advice four days a week during our advice and enquiries sessions and deal with more complex cases through one-to-one meetings. In more complex cases, such as legal or immigration matters, we will refer people to the appropriate services.

Clothes, blankets and toiletries are available, while staff often give out food parcels or make referrals to the local food bank. Staff also serve a free a hot meal once a week.

I think what you're doing is very good you're offering people hope and encouragement that somebody cares for them I was surprised I'm sorry when you said in this YouTube clip that the government don't give you any money towards what you're doing in my opinion they should be without a doubt giving you some money to run the drop-in centre god bless you all for helping the poor

That drop in centre is too small and too crowded. There is a Salvation Army drop in centre in Wandsworth on a Friday from 10am to 2pm that is very under used. So why not direct people to that place? There should also be other Salvation Army drop in centres opened in other parts of London and other parts of the country!
