About us
At The Connection, we open our door to everyone who needs a place to call home. We support people sleeping rough in the heart of London, helping them to recover and find their way off the streets. We get to know every person we work with, going the extra mile to understand their needs and hopes for the future, and being creative about finding help and solutions. The journey can be long, and it’s not an easy path. But we take heart, we stick with people and we don’t give up, supporting them to find their own way home. Help us make London a city where no one sleeps rough on our streets.

Some people aren't ready to visit our day centre. But that's ok. Whether they are unsure of entering a new space or if they just don't have access to directions, we can still support people by meeting them where they're at. This is how we make sure no one is left on London's streets 💙 #TheConnection #NonProfit #London

How do you feel after missing a meal? Probably irritated, uncomfortable, tired or worse. Now imagine missing multiple meals a day, week after week. Could you sort out a new home, benefit applications and more in this position? Simply put, you’re not you when you’re hungry. A meal can restore your energy and help you feel ready to take on the day. That's why, at our day centre, we offer a range of meals daily. It may seem small but it's often the first step on the journey home.

Living on the streets is extremely stressful, which drives people to seek escapism. Drugs or alcohol can provide temporary relief from the physical and emotional pain endured by people sleeping rough. Additionally, many people sleeping rough suffer from mental health issues and using substances might seem like the only coping mechanism they can access. To make matters worse, drugs and alcohol are easy to access, with drug dealers often targeting the rough-sleeping population. At the same time, support services can be hard to navigate and inflexible, making it tough for those in need to get help. Understanding these reasons highlights the need for compassionate and comprehensive support systems. Ultimately, it is hard to know how any of us would respond in the same situation.
