The Croydon Together Shelter opened in January 2026. 

Croydon Voluntary Action is working with Housing Justice and a steering group of local faith-based and community organisations to provide a communal night shelter in Croydon. 

We're pleased to share that the Croydon Together Night Shelter is now at full capacity, with 18-20 people attending every night. We have received some fantastic donations to the shelter from local donors, including from IKEA Croydon and HMRC. The shelter will run until mid-April, providing a safe place to sleep, hot meals, showers and wrap-around strength-based support for up to 20 people experiencing homelessness.

Croydon Voluntary Action has worked on this shelter in collaboration with a range of community organisations, Housing Justice and Croydon Council. We are continuing to fundraise for this initiative, with the hope of replicating the night shelter again next winter.
