Honouring the Legacy of a Loved One.
Your donation in memory of a loved one could help us support people sleeping rough in the heart of London, helping them to recover and find their way off the streets. At The Connection, we get to know every person we work with, going the extra mile to understand their needs and hopes for the future and being creative about finding help and solutions.
We are most appreciative of your support.
There are a number of ways you can donate in memory
Online Memorial Page
We’ve partnered with MuchLoved, a platform that allows you to create a memorial page for your loved one where friends and family can share memories, leave messages of support, and make donations to support our work. It is is easy to set up:
Through Funeral Directors
Most funeral directors will arrange collections at services on behalf of the family. Usually, all you will need to provide is the charity name, our address and registered charity number (below).
Name: The Connection at St Martin in the Fields
Registered charity number: 1078201
Address: The Connection at St Martin’s, 12 Adelaide Street, London WC2N 4HW
We would be happy to help with administration to allow you to concentrate on what matters most, by liaising with the funeral director (perhaps how donations should be sent, or information on the charity for the Order of Service for example).
If you would like us to do so, please provide them with the information below in addition to the details above.
Contact details: Peter Rasmussen, peter.rasmussen@cstm.org.uk
Post
If you have collected cash or cheque donations, you can post them to our offices. Please include a covering letter or note outlining who we should thank, your details (if different to the next of kin) and the person the donations are in memory of. We will then thank you or the appropriate person promptly.
Postal address: The Connection at St Martin’s, 12 Adelaide Street, London WC2N 4HW
Why your donation matters
Finding a home is a physical and mental journey. So that’s how we approach homelessness – by providing the physical means to make a change, and the motivation and support to maintain it. It often starts with a chat, a cup of tea and perhaps a hot meal or shower; the chance to use a washing machine, a computer, or to charge a phone – simple things that aren’t easy when you’re living on the streets.
Then it’s about listening to people, building up trust and understanding, so we can work out together what they need next. At The Connection, we get to know each person we work with, so we can tailor our support to their unique needs and hopes for a better future.
Working alongside them on their journey, we help them build the skills to keep going with their goals. We also help people to rediscover their unique skills, passions, hopes and dreams – the things that make us all feel human, and help us find our path through life – so that ultimately people can find their own way off the streets, towards a place to call home.
