GrowTH was founded by local churches to serve the homeless of Tower Hamlets. Our main project is an emergency night shelter, open for seven months of the year. Guests in the shelter are given resettlement and employment support. GrowTH also has a housing project, offering affordable accommodation to the homeless. Guests are given the opportunity to explore the Christian faith should they wish.
