Glass Door Sleep Out 2024
Friday 4th October from 9pm
On 4th October Father Tim and a team of 10 people from St Mary Abbots took part in the London Sleep out in aid of Glass Door Homeless charity - photos and details of the work of Glass Door can be found below.    With help of our team and the support of are parishioners and our volunteer's friends and family we managed to raise a very good sum indeed - a huge thank you to all who took part and contributed. 
 Glass Door provides people with a chance to eat meals, find clothes, take a shower and wash laundry – things we take for granted.  They offer three main services:
  • emergency shelter for 105 people per night
  • Hot meals given out to homeless people 7 days a week
  • Providing caseworkers who offer advice and practical help
​Since 2005 the number of people sleeping rough has tripled. People become homeless though a myriad of reasons:  loss of job, domestic violence, mental illness, relationship breakdown or death, eviction, cuts to benefits and lack council housing. It could happen to any of us.   ​
