Whitechapel Mission is dedicated to providing a lifeline to people of London who struggle each day against homelessness, hunger, poverty and exclusion.
Its goal is to help people to help themselves, giving them the confidence they need to become independent, which it does through practical support and advice and by teaching them the life skills they need to succeed.
It believes everyone deserves a chance, regardless of their background, race or religion.
Its belief in keeping promises guides its work, 365 days of the year:
It promises its service users that it will provide a warm and welcome place for them, built on trust, belonging and understanding.It can, and does, make a positive and lasting difference to the homeless who ask for its help.
It promises its colleagues and volunteers that it will give them a safe environment for them to work in and a real opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of the people they support.
And it promises its supporters that every penny they give us will always go directly to services and to support our service users.
LMC supports this work, with volunteers preparing breakfasts for the guests, being a collecting point for donations of clothes, toiletries and bedding. Members have in recent years been taking part in the ‘London 10k Run’ to raise money through sponsorship for the work of the mission and several of the trustees are members of LMC.
