For the past 55 years, we have been on the ground every day and every night, supporting people to recover from homelessness and advocating for change.
St Mungo’s was founded in 1969 when a small group of volunteers decided to do something to help people sleeping rough outside Charing Cross station in London.
The group formalised into a charity and we secured our first hostel in a former marmite factory in Vauxhall in 1973. Since then, including through joining forces with Broadway Housing in 2014, St Mungo’s has grown into one of the country’s leading homelessness charities, supporting tens of thousands of people a year.
While our history is important to us, our focus is on the challenges of the present.
Homelessness is not inevitable. We need the support of people like you to carry on our vital work into the future so that, together, we can end homelessness and help people to truly fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
