Covid 19 Emergency Appeal
About the Appeal
Museum of Homelessness, in partnership with Streets Kitchen and other small groups have repurposed all of our activity and resource to frontline work and campaigning for our homeless community during this pandemic.
The situation on the ground is changing daily but despite media and public messaging around ‘getting everyone inside’ we think from our daily work in outreach that there will be a street population throughout this crisis.
Right now, due to services closing and no public out to give donations, people are hungry, thirsty and scared.
We will be there for our community as long as they need us.
The immediate need
From the hub we aim to:
- Feed between 50 and 100 people a day at street level and more if we can.
- Provide care packages and basics to those locked-down in temporary accommodation who are referred to us by our local authority partners.

Notes on our finances
We are a tiny grassroots charity and we keep things really lean financially. Only 11% of our expenditure is on running costs such as insurance and office rent, compared to 40% in other charities our size. (source: Channel 4 fact check)
There are no large salaries or big overheads. Nor do we spend money on fundraising or marketing. Our funds go on making amazing creative and heritage activity, campaigning for change and supporting our community members with paid work, bursaries or essentials like travel costs.
