8 reasons to support

museum of homelessness

  • We directly support the community year round with essentials like socks, sleeping bags or therapy and in the winter we run an emergency shelter in the museum.

  • We provide hot meals with good nutrition. In 2024 we shared over 3,000 community meals onsite.

  • We do not have inflated leadership salaries. Everyone gets paid exactly the same - £34,800 - no matter the role in the museum.

  • We provide meaningful employment for people with experience of homelessness. Many of our team of around 20 people have direct experience of homelessness, addiction or other struggles.

  • We provide meaningful volunteering. We currently have a team of about 60 volunteers.

  • We provide mentoring, development and funding for artists with experience of homelessness.

  • Unlike other homelessness charities, we don’t take goverment homelessness contracts or have ties to government. This means our research and campaigning is truly independent and the museum is only accountable to it’s community of people experiencing homelessness.

  • We are small but mighty and our campaigning changes policy. In 2024, our findings from the Dying Homeless Project resulted in government releasing an extra £10 million for winter shelter funding.

DONATE TODAY

We are grateful for all the support we receive! However small, it helps us remain independent and uncompromised at a time where independent voices are needed more than ever. We are grateful for one off donations, and if you are able to give a regular donation, that’s even more amazing as it enables us to build a secure foundation for the future.
