Upper Room Projects
The Upper Room provides a broad range of services for the homeless, vulnerable, and socially disadvantaged of West London including serving over 20,000 meals a year. Our charity has helped people in need for over 18 years.
Aims of organisation:
The Upper Room is a registered charity dedicated to the relief of poverty, suffering and social disadvantage working with the vulnerable, marginal and homeless of West London. All its services are free and the common theme is "feeding communities in need".
The Upper Room is particularly interested in working with guests to curb addictions, sustain housing and maintain healthy relationships. Another increasingly large group that needs our help is migrant workers. The Upper Room charity receives little government funding and relies on grants, donations from individuals, churches, schools and community groups who are generous with fundraising events, especially at Harvest and Christmas time, to continue providing its services.
There are three Upper Room projects at the moment: UR4Meals, UR4Jobs & UR4Driving (click). These services are focused on supporting and enabling people to regain their confidence and health, improve their employability and life skills, as well as tackling loneliness and social isolation. Each project has a primary function and several secondary functions including being an incubator for new projects.
The Upper Room relies on donations to provide:
- Hot food 5 days a week;
- Clothes, shoes, socks and underwear;
- Toiletries;
- Blankets, bedding, and sleeping bags when available, for rough sleepers.
