West London Mission HA - Ex-Military Supported Housing: Burgess Park House

Who is the project for?

Who do we help?

We work exclusively with homeless men and women who have served at least one day in the British Military. Can accept people with dogs, maximum of 2 dogs at any one time. We work with Homeless Ex Servicemen/Women who originate from across the UK or who have no local connection due to military service. This service offers lower support.

Who we cannot help

History of arson, unmanaged addictions and schedule 1 offenders. Extremely low support with staff not on the premises most of the time, therefore people need to be independent and able to manage themselves.
