Spires

Non-Profit

Spires is an award-winning day centre and charity that has been working with homeless and disadvantaged people in Streatham, South London, since 1990. Working with some of the most isolated and vulnerable in our society, we support over 800 men and women all year round. Our vision is to be the best support that we can in helping people move from lives of distress, isolation and insecurity to a future of greater stability and hope. The majority of our clients are homeless or have insecure accommodation, with many also facing complex issues such as long-term unemployment, problems with poor mental and physical health, addiction and substance abuse, or they may even be imprisoned by sex work. With the help of our 90-strong volunteer team, we provide a range of services including our Rough Sleepers Space every weekday, twice-weekly women-only sessions and a full adult learning timetable offering free classes and workshops. In addition to our centre services, our Spires Streetlink project, provides 4 weekly night outreach sessions to support women involved in street-based sex work. This work was recently extended in April 2016 to support sex workers who work indoors; who are often more vulnerable to attacks and violence. Our Streetlink work aims to improve sex workers personal and sexual safety and empower them to make lasting and positive life choices. Our ultimate aim is to enable our clients to move away from the chaos of the streets and towards greater lifestyle stability for a brighter and more hopeful future.
