What does Thames Reach do?


Thames Reach is a London-based charity that has been supporting people facing homelessness for over 40 years. The organisation is dedicated to helping people who are sleeping rough or at risk of homelessness to find a route off the streets and towards independence.

Founded in 1984, Thames Reach has grown from a single outreach team into a sector leader that supports thousands of people every year. The charity works to ensure that no one has to sleep rough and that those who do can access the support they need to rebuild their lives.

The charity’s approach is rooted in long-term support: not just offering a bed for the night, but addressing the reasons why someone ended up homeless in the first place and helping them take the next steps.

 

What services does Thames Reach provide?


Thames Reach delivers a wide range of services aimed at preventing homelessness, helping people off the streets, and supporting them into more secure futures.

1. Outreach services: Thames Reach’s outreach teams go out on the streets of London every day and night, identifying and engaging with people sleeping rough. Their goal is to connect people with safe accommodation and tailored support as quickly as possible.

2. Assessment Centres, Hostels and Supported Housing: The charity runs a range of assessment centres, hostels and supported housing projects that offer a stable place to live, often for people with additional support needs, such as mental health conditions or issues with substance use. These services are designed not only to provide safety, but also to assess people’s needs and support them in gaining the skills and confidence to move on to independent living.

3. Prevention and Tenancy support: For those who are at risk of losing their homes, Thames Reach offers intensive tenancy sustainment support. This includes help managing finances, dealing with landlords, accessing benefits and addressing other challenges that may put someone’s housing at risk.

4. Health and Wellbeing services: Thames Reach recognises that homelessness is closely linked to physical and mental health. Their specialist services include nurse-led health outreach, support with substance use, and mental health interventions.

5. Employment and Skills support: The charity supports people to access training, volunteering and employment opportunities, helping them regain purpose, structure and financial independence.

Who does Thames Reach help?


Thames Reach supports people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Many of the people they work with have experienced multiple disadvantages, such as trauma, ill health, or time spent in prison or the care system.

In the past year alone, Thames Reach has helped over 15,000 people. Of these, thousands were supported directly off the streets, while others were helped to keep their homes, access healthcare or find meaningful employment.

The organisation works across London and parts of the South East, including Hastings and East Surrey, in collaboration with local authorities and the wider homelessness sector.
