We are SPEAR, a charity dedicated to helping homeless people in South and West London find secure accommodation and work towards a positive future. For almost 35 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to support homeless people to recover from their personal issues and break down the barriers that they face. We recognise that homelessness is much more than just a housing issue, so we provide a range of accommodation and support services to help people reach their full potential.

The Benefits
