In October 1995 the Margins Project was set up to help with London’s homelessness crisis. From that beginning 13 years ago, the Project's emphasis was on social support and providing facilities to meet basic human needs.

In the current ‘credit’ climate the project has witnessed a substantial uptake in services. The main effect has been at the Sunday drop-in service with a rise of guest numbers from an average of 110 to over 150 in the last 6-8 weeks. This constitutes an average rise of 20%. The project is therefore struggling to meet the needs of so many and so funding for the winter and Christmas period is more vital than ever.

The project provides services and facilities for those People finding themselves living on the streets and in crisis. The complexity of the challenges the guests face has always been astounding. Many of the guests are some of the most vulnerable and damaged people in society and have often slipped through the net of governmental health and social services. Being a small and volunteer driven organisation means that Margins is highly adaptable, allowing services to be renegotiated quickly to accommodate and support these often challenging people.
