Story
At Robes, we provide lifesaving shelter and a welcoming place for the
homeless in Southwark and Lambeth. We rely on local churches and
volunteers to make this happen.
Our advice workers work with our guests on an individual level, helping
them find stable accommodation and achieve wider goals.
We have 28 venues, and 1,000 volunteers offering up to 5,000 bed spaces
for 75 people each winter.
It will cost Robes £220,000 to cover the costs of expansion and a year’s
running costs. We rely solely on donations from churches, individuals,
businesses and grants to keep us going.
• £10 keeps someone safe, warm and fed for the night
• £85 buys a starter pack for someone moving into a new flat
• £450 allows a guest to receive holistic advice and support over the winter
• £1,000 keeps one of our shelters running for a week!
Together, we offer a helping hand out of homelessness
