This World Homeless Day we’re celebrating St Mungo’s work with Network Rail, established to support people experiencing homelessness across the rail network.
Since February 2025, Network Rail has supported outreach services delivered by St Mungo’s at two of the busiest stations in London; Victoria and Charing Cross. Specialist teams work alongside station staff to engage with people sleeping rough, offering immediate help, connecting them with accommodation, health and support services, and creating pathways into recovery.
Through the HomelessWise training, run by St Mungo’s, a number of Network Rail colleagues have learned how to better support people who may be experiencing homelessness and how to make effective referrals. Combined with Network Rail’s own rough sleeping toolkit for staff, this training has made stations safer and more welcoming for everyone.
On Friday 10 October 2025, we’re celebrating World Homeless Day with a collaborative collection event. Staff, volunteers, and St Mungo’s supporters will be coming together at Victoria station to raise awareness and vital funds for our work.
We are so proud of what we’ve achieved together so far, and we’re excited for the future. By combining Network Rail’s reach and resources with St Mungo’s mission in ending homelessness and rebuilding lives, we’re helping more people get the support they vitally need.
