The Marylebone Project

England

The Marylebone Project is the largest women’s-only hostel in London and probably the UK, providing a life-changing service for homeless woman, many of whom have reached a crisis point in their life due to experiencing domestic abuse; mental health issues and/or substance abuse.

Above all else, it offers hope. It provides a safe environment – a place where women can rebuild trust, learn to re-engage with society and, through empowerment, start to re-build their lives. Click here to read how The Marylebone Project transformed the lives of Tsega, Tehani and Yordanos.

The Marylebone Project not only offers 112 long and short-term beds (including emergency beds for women in immediate need) providing c. 40k bed nights each year, but a newly refurbished bright and airy drop-in centre – The Sanctuary – which is open 24/7, 365 days for female rough sleepers – a crucial round-the-clock lifeline to vulnerable homeless women in London.

A wide range of educational training and social/well-being activities are available for residents and service users of The Sanctuary as well as many specialist resources provided in partnership as part of the seamless service provided by the Project.
