Transition Homeless Project is a small non-profit organisation serving the local community in Harrow.  We aim to eliminate homelessness and poverty, to empower the homeless, and promote independent living. Transition Homeless Project is dedicated to assisting individuals who are experiencing homelessness, especially in light of the growing challenges caused by the UK’s cost-of-living crisis. We aim to minimise homelessness in London by offering essential services, support, and pathways to independent living.

Our weekly Soup Kitchen provides nourishing meals to those in need. We will be operating each Friday from 12 - 1pm, serving healthy meals to the community. We try to cater to everyone's dietary requirements ensuring we offer various options to our clients.

As the cost-of-living and energy prices continue to rise, it has been extremely challenging for families, couples and single people.  The excessive rise in fuel, food, utilities, mortgage rates and rental costs have left families struggling to make ends meet. Transition Homeless project recognises the needs within the community; homelessness on the streets has increased and there are more people begging especially in Town Centres and surrounding streets.

Unfortunately, homelessness in London is increasing, there are 187,000 homeless people in London (Shelter December 2024).The demand for services providing a hot meal, food banks and advise is growing extensively.
