Natalie spent years surviving homelessness and addiction, moving between hostels, temporary accommodation and the streets. Now she calls her flat her "little palace" - reconnecting with family and planning for the future. Read Natalie's story on our website. #RealStory #HomelessnessAwareness

London is set to reach 35°C today. 🔥 Extreme heat puts people sleeping rough at serious risk. Please check in, offer water or help someone find shade if you can. In an emergency, call 999. 🚨 #Heatwave #HotWeather #London

Our research found that every 7.5 minutes, one Londoner is pushed into #homelessness. 😔 That means at least 15 people will become #homeless during today's solar #eclipse. 🌒

💬 "Walking through the doors to the hostel... I remember sobbing and crying." Now, Milo is preparing for a place to call home. Safe support gave them the chance to heal, make friends and look to the future. 💜

We're incredibly proud to see Arwa Omaren, one of the people we've supported, perform her one-woman show, 𝙃𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙗𝙖: 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝘼𝙢 𝙄 𝙄𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮?, at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. 🎭 If you're at the Fringe this August, go see it! 💙 #EdinburghFringe #Theatre

With a splash of paint and a few volunteers, Liss helps turn our hostels into spaces that finally feel like home. 🏡 💬 "Seeing it all come together, with clients involved and staff so appreciative... that's what makes it all worthwhile." 💛

Real progress starts with recognising that rough sleeping doesn't look the same for everyone. By understanding people's different experiences, we can design services that give everyone the support they need to leave homelessness behind for good. #RoughSleeping #Women #LGBTQ #HomelessnessSupport

Last year, we helped 4,750 people stay in their own home, preventing homelessness before it happened. Because the best outcome isn't helping someone after they've lost their home. It's making sure they never lose it in the first place. ❤️

💬 "You have to do things yourself." Jurga lived by those words for years until she met Michelle. 💬 "When I realised this wasn't about Michelle doing everything for me, but helping me do it myself, everything changed." That understanding helped Jurga rebuild her confidence and reclaim her life ✨

Figures released last week show rough sleeping in London has fallen by 10% over the past year, including a 45% drop in young people sleeping rough. Encouraging progress, but there's still much more to do. No one should be sleeping rough in 2026. 🏠

At Single Homeless Project, you'll join a team that's ambitious, compassionate and committed to making a real difference! ❤️ If you're looking for a role with purpose, we'd love to hear from you. #WorkForUs #CharityJobs #MakeADifference #Job

As we face another heatwave, our Head of Rough Sleeping, Mel Malcolm, spoke to the Camden New Journal about why extreme heat is such a risk. 💬 "Climate change means that this is going to be happening more and more... We can mitigate as much as possible, but we need something more proactive."

While many of us can retreat indoors, thousands of people sleeping rough have nowhere to escape the sun. A bottle of water, a few minutes of your time, or a outreach referral could make all the difference. ❤️ #Heatwave #HotWeather #HotWeatherTips #London

After years of homelessness, Natalie found it difficult to trust anyone. Until she found her support worker Vicki - taking time to listen, building trust, and standing alongside her. Now Natalie has a home she's proud of, is reconnecting with her family, and a future. #RealStory #Support

Our frontline teams see the impact of poor #mentalhealth and #homelessness every day. Too many people are falling through gaps in mental health services, despite living with complex trauma and high support needs. Our Health Programme helps people navigate the system & access the care they deserve.

We came together for another incredible evening of live music, celebrating the creativity and talent of our clients and staff. 🎶 From first-time performers to experienced musicians, every act was a reminder of what's possible when people are given the opportunity to grow and express themselves. 💪

Women experiencing homelessness need safe spaces to recover and rebuild. Too many avoid mixed accommodation because it doesn't feel safe, leaving women's homelessness hidden and undercounted. We need services designed for women, not one-size-fits-all solutions. #WomensHomelessness #EndHomelessness

The Marylebone Project's closure is devastating. Women's homelessness is hidden. Many avoid mixed services because it doesn't feel safe, instead spending nights walking, hiding or sleeping in plain sight. More women-only homelessness services, not fewer: www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yr106z6k2o

We must recognise homeless women in their own right, and fund services accordingly

Women are unseen, unheard and unprotected by a system designed and funded for men, writes Lucy Campbell, head of multiple disadvantage at the Single Homeless Project, as part of the Reset…
