Our Services

Our services help clients build the resilience and confidence to find their own solutions to overcoming homelessness. Many are homeless or have insecure accommodation and are dealing with complex issues such as unemployment, financial pressure, substance addiction and physical or mental health concerns, due to pre-existing conditions or a response to their current circumstances. We aim to empower homeless & vulnerably housed clients to secure & maintain accommodation whilst addressing the root causes of their homelessness.

Housing & Homelessness

Our clients’ needs led Spires to develop a holistic and consistent outreach service to women who are street based sex-working. The service is delivered from a specially adapted outreach vehicle operating across South London throughout week nights.
