To be the best support we can in helping people move from lives of distress, isolation and insecurity to a future of greater stability and hope.
Spires is run by a small but dynamic and committed team of staff. They work at our day centre in Streatham and do outreach work across South London.

During the late 80s, homelessness became an increasingly visible problem in Streatham and the surrounding area. While media attention focused on the problems in central London, there was no service available locally for homeless people.
Our patrons help give Spires a voice and raise awareness of our work with homeless and vulnerable people in South London.
Our current patrons are:
Routes 50, 57, 109, 118, 133, 159, 201, 249, 250, 255, 315, 319, 333, G1 and P13 all stop close to Spires - just ask for St Leonard’s.
Streatham station (Thameslink and London Bridge lines) is about 5 minutes walk away.
Streatham Hill station (for Victoria and Clapham Junction or West Croydon and Crystal Palace) is 10 to 15 minutes walk or a short bus ride.
