Activities & Mission

SPEAR exists to enable homeless people in South and West London find secure accommodation. We develop and deliver solutions with community partners. We believe that homelessness isn't just a housing problem, it has a range of causes and is often an experience of isolation, hopelessness or self-doubt. That's why, beyond a roof overhead, we promote community involvement and personal development.
