Mission Statement

Whitechapel Mission is dedicated to providing a lifeline to people of London who struggle each day against homelessness, hunger, poverty and exclusion.

Our goal is to help people to help themselves, giving them the confidence they need to become independent, which we do through practical support and advice and by teaching them the life skills they need to succeed.

We believe everyone deserves a chance, regardless of their background, race or religion.

We believe in keeping promises, which we use to guide our work, 365 days of the year:
  • We promise our service users that we will provide a warm and welcome place for them to come, built on trust, belonging and understanding.
  • We promise our colleagues and volunteers that we will give them a safe environment for them to work in and a real opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of the people they support.
  • And we promise our supporters that every penny they give us will always go directly to services and to support our service users.
We know that we can, and are, making a positive and lasting difference to the homeless who ask for our help.
