Outreach Psychotherapist LB Newham

About us:

Providence Row tackles the root causes of homelessness to help people get off, and stay off, the streets. The charity was founded in 1860 to work with vulnerable people living in the East End of London. We are extremely proud of how the charity has continued to grow and develop over 150 years.

For homeless people, or those at risk of homelessness, finding employment and housing opportunities can feel like an uphill battle, even more so if they re affected by physical, mental health or substance misuse issues. Providence Row works with those affected by homelessness and those vulnerably housed in London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice and progression programmes. We ensure that people often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets.
