The Connection

Thousands of people sleep rough in England on any one night – official estimates place the figure at around 4000 but other data suggests it could be almost double that, and that doesn’t take into account for those who move on and off the streets. The Connection at St Martin’s is rough sleepers get off and stay off the streets for good. As well as providing immediate practical support like hot meals, showers and emergency accommodation, the organisation runs an in-house education, training and employment service to help people find employment. The Connection also runs social enterprises including Poster Bakes, a bakery delivering vegan doughnuts and Show Your Connection, an online store selling eco and ethical products, putting the profits back into the charity’s work.
