Service offered: Spires is a south London based charity that has been supporting homeless and disadvantaged men & women for over 30 years.

Our services provide the necessary advice and support to help build their confidence and independence, enabling them to avoid or overcome homelessness while ensuring their safety and well-being. We operate across multiple sites throughout south London, including Stockwell, Brixton, Streatham, Tooting, West Norwood & Croydon.
