Southwark Cabinet member for New Homes signs London Charter

Cllr Helen Dennis, Southwark Cabinet Member for New Homes, signed the London Charter to End Rough Sleeping on behalf of Southwark Council. Cllr Kieron Williams, Leader of Southwark Council, and Bill Tidnam, Chief Executive of Thames Reach, were also in attendance.

Southwark joins an increasing number of London boroughs to back the London Charter which aims to unite individuals, businesses, faith groups, charities, and public bodies in the shared mission to eliminate rough sleeping in our city.

“I’m proud to be here today with Thames Reach to make this incredibly important pledge to end homelessness and rough sleeping in our borough. Rough sleeping is a dangerous, isolating experience and should have no place in a modern, wealthy city. We’re determined to end it in our borough and to work together with our network of partners to support those who are homeless or vulnerable into a safe, secure home.”
