Providing food free on London's streets
St Mungo's offers rough sleepers a way off the streets, and a way into suitable temporary accommodation where they can get help with housing, training, and employment while addressing any physical and mental health needs.
We don't believe in helping rough sleepers to sustain a street lifestyle. While we understand the importance of providing food to homeless people, it remains our opinion that soup runs, rather than offering a solution to street homelessness, exacerbate and prolong it.
We work with a number of other agencies, local authorities, community groups and the police to encourage rough sleepers to seek help, advice and accommodation.
Getting rough sleepers off the streets will enable them to put homelessness behind then and unlock their potential for a better life.
