UK now in Lockdown - Essential travel only - please follow lockdown rules and DO NOT travel to make donations to the mission.
Lockdown has made it even harder to have hope for the immediate future, but support is still available. We remain open and serving. If you see somebody still on our streets this Christmas, please direct them to our door, where they will receive a warm welcome, hot food, showers, clothing and the listening ear of an advise worker. Lets make a difference this winter!
As The Whitechapel Mission cares for an increasing number of our most vulnerable guests during the corona-virus (COVID-19) emergency, we remain committed to the health, safety and well-being of all. Our guests who are experiencing homelessness don’t have the option to “stay at home” to avoid risk to themselves or others.
We continue to offer our essential services (more than 277,745 free meals served during the pandemic). Our response balances the consideration that our guests are highly vulnerable to many challenges. Organizations like ours have a duty to care and not prematurely suspend potentially life-saving services. We are seeing new faces, with new worries — people who are desperately in need of the food, shelter, advice and hope offered at The Whitechapel Mission. People in need continue to be welcomed at our Whitechapel Centre.
We remain open and serving
Winter is here
Winter Appeal
This winter is guaranteed to be unlike any other. What might sleeping rough this winter ook like in a coronavirus world? As the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in all communal night shelters having to remain closed, the number of Winter Night shelters is going to be severely reduced this winter.
We are expecting to see a higher number of people sleeping on our streets this winter. A large number of people were found a hotel space for Christmas, but will return to the streets this week. (05/01/2021)
We will be open throughout the winter, to ensure that everybody in need of hot food, showers, clothing, advice and safety will have somewhere to go.
