RESTART Lives
Supporting men and women in London to break the cycle of homelessness and confront the issues obstructing their future.
About Us
We are a small, London-based charity whose objective is to support homeless people to overcome the challenges of life ‘on the streets’. Our staff and volunteers assist guests in securing accommodation, finding employment, improving social relationships, mental health and well-being, and developing the confidence and readiness to return to independent living.

2019 Mentoring Scheme
In March & April, we held two training days for those that were interested in becoming a mentor. All 16 volunteers, 5 trustees and staff learnt a huge amount from Kay Lawrence (psychotherapist) and Dahlia Parkinson (Employability Coordinator at the 999 Club) about how to best support homeless guests through multiple challenges.
