WLM Seymour Place

With funding secured from Homeless Link, WLM Seymour Place will be supporting people who find themselves rough sleeping this winter. Following on from last year, this will be in Covid-safe hotel rooms, rather than the Winter Night Shelter in halls model that was previously carried out at WLM Seymour Place.
We will be providing single rooms in Covid-safe hotels and in conjunction with this will be using WLM Seymour Place for advice and training. We will be working with people affected by rough sleeping who are working or close to working; our WLM asset coaches will work with each individual to help them recognise and discover their assets and strengths and support them in their search for permanent accommodation, employment or in sustaining their current employment.
Referrals to the service will come through our partnership with the Westminster Homelessness Partnership and through the No Second Night Out project and Outreach teams in Westminster.
 

This project will run for 3-6 months. From March 2022 onwards we aim to continue to support individuals through our community hub which we are developing at WLM Seymour Place. We intend to develop employability work there, replicating the work at our second Hub, WLM St Luke’s which is located in Kennington. We are also looking to build on in-house employment options; for example, we currently host House of Cinn (a homelessness baking project) and are also looking at opening a community café. Many of our plans have been put on hold as a result of the pandemic, but throughout the winter we will be making the adaptations necessary to be able to support people from the hotel's project and those coming to us for support afterwards.
