Trusts and Foundations

Trusts and Foundations play a vital role in helping us to build communities in which everyone has a place to call home. From our health link service to our community development and young people’s projects, every year Trusts and Foundations enable us to support people who have experienced homelessness across South West London in their journey to independence.

Find out more about our work and the impact that we make.

If you are a charitable trust or foundation and interested in working with us, we would love to hear from you.

An increasing number of Londoners are forced to live without a roof over their heads. Through our homelessness fund, A Roof for All, we’re proud to have been supporting SPEAR since 2019. SPEAR’s in-depth expertise and commitment to finding long-term solutions is invaluable to helping reduce homelessness in our local community.

"SPEAR is an important partner for Richmond Parish Lands Charity leading the drive against homelessness in the borough. We're proud to support SPEAR through our grants programmes and by providing reduced rents on two of our properties, so that they can improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness and create opportunities for a positive future. RPLC is a local endowed foundation supporting the residents of TW9, TW10, SW13 & SW14 by making grants to charitable partners, providing reduced rents on properties, offering crisis cash grants to individuals in need and funding education opportunities for adult learners.”

Specific projects and services we seek funding for include:

Rough Sleeper Outreach

The Outreach teams encounter people on their first steps from homelessness to independence.
They respond to sightings of people sleeping rough, by going out late evenings and early mornings to find them bedding down and provide pathways and support to assist them off the streets.

Community Development

The Community Development Team provides a personalised skills pathway for people experiencing homelessness, supporting them to rediscover their strengths, their value to society, and employability goals.

Tenancy Support

The Resettlement and Tenancy Support Team supports people in temporary and more permanent accommodation by offering advice and support to maintain their tenancies.

Young People

We work with young people aged 16 to 25 to improve their confidence, wellbeing, and independent living skills through one-to-one support and by supporting engagement in employment, training and educational activities that are meaningful to them.

Homeless Health Link

This service empowers people experiencing homelessness to improve their own health and wellbeing by connecting them to local primary healthcare services.

Handyperson Service

Our Handyperson service supports our clients to be safer, warmer, and independent with a responsive and personalised repairs service. In addition to being the first point of contact for all repair works, our Handyperson also undertakes weekly health and safety checks.
