The Connection
When your way is hard to find, and there’s nowhere left to turn, The Connection are there.
At The Connection, they open their door to everyone who needs a place to call home.
They support people sleeping rough in the heart of London, helping them to recover and find their way off the streets.
They get to know every person they work with, going the extra mile to understand their needs and hopes for the future. Their approach focuses on creative solutions with people, never for them.
The journey can be long, and it’s not an easy path. But they take heart, they stick with people, and they don’t give up, supporting them to find their own way home.
Helping to make London a city where no one sleeps rough on our streets.
Blick Rothenberg's partnership with The Connection
With a cost of living crisis and homelessness levels rising across London, we are incredibly proud to have chosen to support The Connection to help end rough sleeping and create a safer and fairer London for all.
The Connection has values that so seamlessly align with our own, putting people at the heart of their organisation to champion change in the local community.
It is these shared goals which make us so excited to work on this partnership together.
