What we do
What we do
At Thames Reach, we know how to reach and support people in London who are facing or experiencing homelessness. Learn about the services we run at Thames Reach as we work to end rough sleeping in London.
Last year, we helped 15,000 people across London.
Our team is part of the solution: from our outreach workers who help people on the streets all day – and all night – to our research and reports that helps shape government policy. We run homelessness services for local authorities in and around London, working with other specialist organisations from mental health to employment advice. We make sure that people get the support they need to leave homelessness behind.
Accommodation and outreach
Accommodation and outreach services are vital to ending rough sleeping. Our street outreach services work across London 365 days a year.
Influencing
We seek to influence the way that homelessness services are commissioned, delivered and improved.
Prevention
Sleeping rough is a traumatic experience. This is why we are committed to delivering prevention services that stop people from becoming homeless in the first place.
Support
The all-round support that we offer is the glue that holds together any serious attempt to end rough sleeping.
Graham's story
Graham’s life took a difficult turn due to addiction and mental health challenges, leading him to disconnect from his family and endure eight years of homelessness.
He was referred to Thames Reach Greenwich, our residential service based in the London Borough of Greenwich. This specialised service provides support for people with experience of homelessness who have been through the criminal justice system, or who have drug and alcohol support needs.
