Our reach
At Thames Reach, we know how to reach and support people in London who are facing or experiencing homelessness. And every time our teams help someone keep their home, or get and stay off the streets, we see the difference our work can make.
Marco's story
Last year, Marco moved into his new flat, marking the end of a challenging period in his life. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, the company Marco worked for went into liquidation. He not only lost his job but his home and most of his possessions. After a period of sofa surfing, he ended up sleeping rough on the streets around Waterloo.
Eventually, Marco was picked up by outreach workers. At this point, he met support worker Seb, who works for our PLACE team (Pan-London Accommodation & Community Engagement). Seb has supported Marco right through his journey, from coming off the street, helping him to access support services, right through to having a home of his own again.
