Coronavirus update 29/3/20
Thank you to all our incredible staff and volunteers who have worked so hard during this time of crisis to keep our Catalyst Nightshelter open.
Thank you for helping us help the homless.
The Catalyst Nightshelter is now 8 Years Old!
“Making homelessness history in Havering” is our dream. Join us as we celebrate the 8th Anniversary of the Catalyst Nightshelter providing essential food and shelter to over 1240 men and women but also housing 657 people.
Did you know that if we lined all the beds we have provided end to end from Romford – they would reach to Southhampton or Leicester?
We couldn’t do the work that we do without the love and support of our local community. Would you join us in our mission by volunteering time or supporting us financially?

Graham lives in our Thrive Housing said “After living abroad for around 12 years, I returned to the U.K. having been offered work which included accommodation, unfortunately; this fell through, which meant I had nowhere to live and no income.
I was lucky enough to be put in touch with ‘Hope4Havering’.
