Welcome to Providence Row
Why our work is so important
Every night in London hundreds of vulnerable people bed down in squalid conditions: on the street, in abandoned cars, derelict buildings and squats, pedestrian subways, concealed entrances and parks; and under bridges. Many of these people have nowhere else to go. A large number have mental health problems and many use alcohol or drugs to escape their desperate situations.
Providence Row’s is located in Tower Hamlets – one of the poorest communities in the UK. As a local charity we focus all our efforts on helping anyone who needs us in the City of London and the East End. We work to transform the lives of those who turn to us for help by offering advice, support and practical help.
How we make a difference
Our work makes a real difference to the lives of the people who need us. Our café provides free food and we also offer showers, clothing and a laundry. Specialist help is given to women and those with mental health needs.
We also provide support for drug users . We deliver services in partnership with more than 20 organisations ensuring that those who have nowhere else to go, get the help they need.
Every year we help more than 250 people get off the streets – usually into a hostel or night shelter – and the Dellow Centre will refer many hundreds more to other specialist services.
