UK now in Lockdown - Essential travel only - please follow lockdown rules and DO NOT travel to make donations to the mission.

Lockdown has made it even harder to have hope for the immediate future, but support is still available. We remain open and serving. If you see somebody still on our streets this Christmas, please direct them to our door, where they will receive a warm welcome, hot food, showers, clothing and the listening ear of an advise worker. Lets make a difference this winter!

As The Whitechapel Mission cares for an increasing number of our most vulnerable guests during the corona-virus (COVID-19) emergency, we remain committed to the health, safety and well-being of all. Our guests who are experiencing homelessness don’t have the option to “stay at home” to avoid risk to themselves or others.

We continue to offer our essential services (more than 277,745 free meals served during the pandemic). Our response balances the consideration that our guests are highly vulnerable to many challenges. Organizations like ours have a duty to care and not prematurely suspend potentially life-saving services. We are seeing new faces, with new worries — people who are desperately in need of the food, shelter, advice and hope offered at The Whitechapel Mission. People in need continue to be welcomed at our Whitechapel Centre.

We remain open and serving
