About St. Mungo’s
St Mungo's opens doors for homeless people. Mainly based in London and the South,
they provide over 100 accommodation and support projects a day.
St Mungo's has four clear objectives which are at the root of everything they do:
- To tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness
- To equip people to realise their potential
- To deliver client-centred services which are creative and of demonstrable quality
- To influence policy that affects homeless and excluded people
St. Mungo’s run emergency services, support people in their recovery as well
as working to prevent homelessness.
What St. Mungo’s Do
St Mungo's creates opportunities for homeless people to get permanent new homes,
find meaningful activities, learning and employment.
St. Mungo’s work focuses on three main areas:
Providing emergency services.
These include emergency shelters and hostels, and outreach teams who work on the
streets with people sleeping rough. St. Mungo’s support homeless people in
real and urgent need, and last year helped thousands off the streets into accommodation.
Of course, this emergency work is fundamental - but it is only the first step.
Supporting homeless people in their recovery.
St. Mungo’s help people tackle the problems that have led to their homelessness
by opening the door to drug and alcohol treatment, and providing access to decent
physical and mental health care - as well as finding routes to employment and enjoyable
relationships. Our semi-independent housing projects mean nearly 700 people are
gaining confidence every day in their independent living skills.
Preventing homelessness.
This is a vital part of St. Mungo’s work. Many people at risk of homelessness
have damaged and chaotic lives, and may come from difficult backgrounds. Their support
teams work with vulnerable people - from former rough sleepers in their new homes,
to ex-offenders with mental health problems, to street beggars - to make positive
changes in their lives. We also offer high support housing to nearly 400 men and
women who could so easily end up sleeping rough.
St. Mungo’s projects are responsive to the changing needs of today's homeless
and vulnerable people. For example, recent innovations include: accommodation for
vulnerable women fleeing from abuse in crack houses; support for people who have
a dual diagnosis (combined drug and mental health problems); and work with 'career
beggars'.
