Since 1997, Marks & Spencer has invested considerable funds in the development of Alone In London’s young people services, with a particular focus on enhancing their prospects of employability. In addition to such funding is the advice the company has to offer that comes from their expertise in providing young people, who are unemployed, with work experience.

“Alone In London’s attention to the needs of each individual young person so that he or she has a chance to achieve his or her potential is what commands our respect and support. For as long as we have supported this charity – seven years now, we have been most impressed by integrated approach this charity adopts in restoring stability in the lives of vulnerable young people.”

“Most of the staff here are quite young and are aware that homelessness is one of the most pressing social problems in the capital. The proximity of Alone In London gives us a greater sense of actually contributing something tangible to the local community. And this we have enjoyed doing through a host of events – book sales, quiz nights and participating in the Marathon.”

“Alone In London is to be applauded for it’s unique approach to working with vulnerable young people. Having recently participated in one of the Prevention of Homelessness lessons, at a school in Islington, it was clear from the pupils’ animated response that this progressive project is crucial to addressing the issues that lead to homelessness. Streetsmart is, therefore, delighted to have provided funding towards this Prevention of Homelessness In Schools Project.”
