As London’s largest emergency winter night shelter, Glass Door (formerly West London Churches Homeless Concern or WLCHC) provides a safe, warm place to sleep for up to 100 men and women a night in partnership with churches across Hammersmith, Fulham, Kensington, Chelsea, Barnes and Putney. Homeless guests also access advice, food, showers and laundry facilities year-round from our Chelsea drop-in day centre. Glass Door not only saves lives by providing refuge from the cold, but we also help homeless men and women find more stable futures.
