whitechapel community project
London
We are a volunteer led work with very few staff, but this does not mean we are a
small organization. We can see as many as 300 people a day, looking for our
assistance. We remain open every day Our impact remains high We can do this for
a fraction of the cost of other day centres. We do this without any statutory
funding. We recognize the true strength of our volunteers. And we recognize the
value of everybody coming through our doors. First, we help people by meeting
immediate needs: food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. In our recovery
programs, we address deeper needs for life-skills and job-skills training, and
addiction recovery. We measure our progress against four criteria, which
indicate to us that a life has been transformed from homelessness to hope:
connection to family, commitment to sobriety, a job and a place to live, and a
plan for the future. Today, The Whitechapel Mission is a results-oriented
organization that is recognized as one of London's most effective. Our Purpose
The Whitechapel Mission is called to serve the men and women caught in the
cycles of poverty, hopelessness and dependencies of many kinds, and to see their
lives transformed to hope, joy and lasting productivity. Our Goal To be the most
effective provider of compassionate care and life transformation for hurting
people in London. We promote the concept of being part of the Mission and taking
ownership of the Mission. Any and all who come are welcome. The services we
offer are built upon trust and belonging. We are an inclusion centre rather than
an exclusion centre. SERVICES WE OFFER
