All the charities that receive funds from SleepSmart have been carefully selected and visited by the SleepSmart team. Some of the money does go to the basics, such as a bed, a shower, a pair of shoes, but the charities we fund don’t stop there as that rarely solves the problem. Funds are also spent on projects aimed at getting people back on their feet again.

Marylebone ProjectThe Marylebone Project is the largest centre in the UK dedicated to meeting the needs of homeless women escaping domestic violence, sexual exploitation, financial problems and mental health issues. The centre is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for any woman in crisis. Services are provided free of charge and include the provision of clothing, laundry, hot food, showers and emergency accommodation. In addition, longer term accommodation is available for 112 residents. They also operate a drop-in centre, which provides advice, health services, training and education to around 750 homeless women a year.
