Spires provides a range of services, directly or in partnership with others, to those experiencing homelessness or poverty. Many of those who come to us are dealing with complex issues such as unemployment, financial pressure, substance or alcohol addiction and physical or mental health concerns that has or could result in them being homeless. Through our services, we’ll provide the advice + support they need to see them build confidence & independence to exit or avoid homelessness while ensuring their safety & well-being.
Our Housing & Homelessness service empowers homeless and vulnerably housed adults to secure and maintain appropriate accommodation through specialist tenancy support, whilst helping address the issues that caused their homelessness.
Our specialist women’s service supports women who are dealing with issues like long-term unemployment, no recourse to public funds and problems with poor mental & physical health with the aim to manage their health, well-being and safety.
Our clients’ needs led Spires to develop a holistic and consistent outreach service to women who are street based sex-working. The service is delivered from a specially adapted outreach vehicle operating across South London throughout week nights.
