OVERVIEW TO THE UPPER ROOM
The Upper Room is a registered charity dedicated to the relief of poverty and suffering among people who are socially disadvantaged, vulnerable, homeless and marginalised sections of our societies in west London. We exist to help people in need and we have been doing it for over 21 years.
In pursuance of this goal we provide a broad range of services, which include serving over 25,000 hot meals to homless people, giving over 2000 advice sessions to people who are without jobs and helping 30 ex-offenders gain a driving licence every year. We also help/advise many users who are involved in drugs misuse to curb their addictions. Over the last four year an increasing number of our service users have been migrant workers, mainly from Eastern Europe, so we have developed expertise and specialist advice and support programmes for them.
We work with all people; we encourage the fostering of healthy relationships among users of our services; and we provide our services free of charge. The common themes throughout all our programmes are "improving lives" and "feeding people in need".

The Upper Room relies on grants and donations from trusts, individuals, churches, schools and local communities.
Many people have been and still are generous with their time and expertise to organise fundraising events, especially at Harvest and Christmas time. If you, your colleagues and friends from schools, churches, local pubs, clubs or social-networks want to organise events to raise funds to support our work, please contact us and we will support you every step of the way.
