The Connection at St Martins
We believe no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets, and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home.
The Connection at St Martin’s is located in the heart of London, next to St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square. This is an area that sees some of the highest number of people rough sleeping in London.
We help people struggling with homelessness to move away from, and stay off the streets of London. Our Outreach Team go out on the streets each weekday to engage with those sleeping rough and encourage them to come and use our services.
At our day centre we welcome over 100 people a day to receive mental and physical medical care, food, showers, shelter during the day and support to find accommodation.
We build relationships and trust with people who may have been let down by support services in the past. We don’t give up on people and we support them every step of the way, no matter how tough their journey is.
Sadly homelessness is on the rise, with reports showing that over 10,000 people in London were listed as homeless in 2022-23. We need your support now more than ever to continue providing vital support and facilities to people who need it the most.
