Expected impact
The Marylebone Project provides a life-changing service for homeless women and is the largest and longest-running centre of its kind in London and the UK with over 90 years of experience supporting vulnerable homeless women in crisis affected by. Within our safe environment women rebuild trust, learn to re-engage with society and through empowerment start to re-build their lives through our all-encompassing service provision.There are 4 Emergency Beds in the project. Women who use the services at The Sanctuary can be directly referred by the team there without having to be referred via any Third-Party agencies. During the 28 days of having an Emergency Bed (the timeframe coincides with the payment structures on Universal Credit) women receive the support and guidance needed to secure a more permanent housing solution – either in our residential arm or in an alternative provision.
Track record
Last year we provided 40,000 bed nights across our two buildings at Cosway Street and Bell Street. In addition we resettled 98 women into their own homes in partnership with a network of Housing Associations. We provided support to enable 100% of those women to sustain their tenancies. The story and experience of homeless women is very different and often misunderstood. For women, more often than not it is a series of circumstances and events that lead to them reaching a crisis point. This can be loosing their home or being unable to return due to threat of abuse. Our charity works to reduce the threat faced by these women. We aim to support these women in crisis and help them to rebuild their lives, re-entering the local community empowered, informed and most crucially safer.
