Volunteering England volunteer database
Volunteering England have a volunteer centre in every borough across London each with a large database of volunteers prepared to give up their time to assist a good cause.
If you are in urgent need of volunteers or need a large number, this could be a good place to start. Michelle at the Westminster centre contacted us especially to inform us that she has a database of over 1000 people interested in volunteering in the homeless sector.

Fundraising is essential for any voluntary organisation, but it can be a daunting and time consuming exercise for smaller, volunteer led organisations with few resources. UNLEASH therefore offers training in this area for project managers and committee members. New training dates will be displayed on our training page shortly. We have also compiled a resources pack aimed at helping small London based homeless organisations or those new to fundraising. This is available from our download page.
The resources pack includes a list of grant making trusts who may be sympathetic to applications from homeless organisations, but for more inspiration please click on the following link to a page on the London Housing Foundation's website that many of our members have found helpful:
The London Housing Foundation
This page on the London Housing Foundation's website has links to the websites of 46 charitable grant making trusts who give grants to homeless projects or those tackling related issues.
