About Us

When your way is hard to find, and there’s nowhere left to turn, we are there.

At The Connection, we open our door to everyone who needs a place to call home.

We support people sleeping rough in the heart of London, helping them to recover and find their way off the streets.

Our team takes the time to get to know each person and goes the extra mile to understand their needs and hopes for the future. The approach focuses on creating solutions with people, not for them.

The journey can be long, and it’s not an easy path. But we take heart, we stick with people and we don’t give up, supporting them to find their own way home.

Help us make London a city where no one sleeps rough on our streets.

who we are - The Connection's vision: We believe that no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets, and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home. Our mission: The Connection support people sleeping rough to find a way off London’s streets. We get to know every person we work with, understanding what they need to recover, helping them build on their strengths, and supporting them to find their own way home.

We engage with people according to their preferences and at their own pace, building strong relationships with those we support. Last year alone, our centre welcomed over 1400 visitors.

During this period, we found accommodation for 185 people, boosted the confidence of 151 individuals through our activity groups, and raised over £4.9 million to support these efforts.

But what we do goes deeper than statistics.

Everything The Connection at St. Martin’s does centres on people, just like Sean.

As part of St Martin-in-the-Fields, we have been on the front line helping people in crisis for over one hundred years, right in the heart of Westminster – which has more people sleeping rough than anywhere else in the UK.

Our history is part of who we are – we have decades of expertise and relationship building on our side.
