Delivering plans for a new building to support people who are homeless in Westminster with @StMungos and @Stories_dev

[St Mungo's @StMungos]

We're here, every night, to bring someone in from the cold.

As the nights draw in, the temperature drops. No one should have to sleep in the cold this autumn.

We're here to make it their last night on the street. #MungosLastNight

We are saddened to hear of the death of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. Our services remain open but out of respect we are temporarily pausing some of our normal social media activity. Our thoughts and condolences remain with the Royal Family at this time.

Lee lives in a specialist care service for people who have experienced #homelessness.

He was first supported by the @StMungos tenancy team in his own flat. But he struggled to look after himself so was referred for specialist care.

Nazir was homeless and after @StMungos helped him into stable accommodation, he decided to give back and become a volunteer.

"If you want to help other people, and help yourself, I’d definitely recommend volunteering at St Mungo’s."

Outreach is often more complicated than simply meeting someone #SleepingRough and finding them a safe place to stay.

Often @StMungos teams go back again and again to gradually build up a relationship of trust.

We have 1,536 staff, and many volunteers!

Whilst everyone in our organisation has the same shared goal, ending #homelessness, our day to day activities can look completely different.

Many people have preconceived ideas of what people experiencing #homelessness are 'like'.

The truth is that anyone from any background can experience homelessness or #RoughSleeping.
