Today we held the Whitechapel Mission Monopoly Challenge event. It was the first time we have organised an event of this scale, so when the 16 teams signed up to enter, little did they know they were the guinea pigs for future fundraisers such as this. We need to raise funds to build an internet […]
Whitechapel Mission is celebrating World Monopoly Day with a fundraising challenge. Just to inform you of a fundraising day and wish to invite you to join us for a fantastic day of fun whilst raising much needed funds for the Computer Suite Project. To fund a project to introduce a computer suite connected to the main […]
Most people do get those Monday morning blues; but it’s the day our staff and volunteers look forward to most. Our advice room is open for all to access, we can help with most things that come our way, whether it be finding a bed for someone that night, helping with the changes in the benefit […]
@LushLtd @truebritlondon and @RitualCosmetics supporting our “New Year, New You” Day. Of course it is always about trying to find more appropriate, affordable housing, support structures and advice and advocacy for the people on the streets and those insecurely housed. But, there is far more to our work than just a hot meal or a shower. […]
Wow! What a fabulous day we had on the last Ladies Day of the year. A day packed with entertainment and food, finishing with a special visit from Mrs Claus herself. Tracy and her team from BNYMellon were the volunteers of the week, we also invited Credit Suisse and Lloyds of London to come and […]
What a fantastic day we were treated to by the ladies of Credit Suisse and Cobella Hair salon today. Nathalie at Credit Suisse organised a French Themed day, albeit we took a little bit of a banter from our ladies as it is St Georges Day tomorrow; but that soon abated as Caesar, the chef […]
On Thursday I was lucky enough to be invited by Tracy to BNY Mellon to attend a Cake Bake fund raiser in aid of Whitechapel Mission. Armed with a couple of cakes and cup cakes I went to the amazing views of the 49th floor of one Cabot Square. BNY are trying raising enough funds […]
A Happy Easter to all. A big thank-you has to go to Matt from Dentons who came along with his family to help serve our guests of Whitechapel Mission on a special Easter Day. Even though the clocks sprang forward one hour, so they lost an hours sleep; he, his wife Becca with teenagers Luke, […]
What a Breakfast Challenge we had today! – Team leader Mia, from @Clifford Chance was kept on her toes throughout the morning. The difference was in the volunteer numbers. We would normally ask for 8 people to volunteer to do the breakfast challenge; they arrive at 5:45am and see the whole shift through to the […]
A great Breakfast Challenge completed with @royalmail and @dentons thanks to our budding chefs!

A fabulous productive day here at the Whitechapel Mission today. BNY Mellon volunteers did a sterling job, Rob and his team keeping up, serving breakfast on a very busy morning. Victoria states she will be dreaming about eggs tonight after she must have fried over 300 eggs. (She lost count after that). Tracy and her team came […]
After years of getting piped at the post by Jonathan Beebe, Eric was finally on the winning team in an Equities HCP event. With help from Jon and Henry the venison and black pudding scotch eggs were the fans favourite (see photo below). The fitting wooden spoon prize went to Team 7 who made the chocolate fondant/mousse, […]
As the shower refurbishment is now complete, we start on the restrooms. Funding for these works is now secured and work begins on Monday morning The toilet facilities are an important part of our service provision, and not only as a normal facility. For those sleeping rough the use of a bathroom offers the dignity and privacy, […]
Men’s showers are available Monday to Friday from 7:30am until 9:30am, with an opportunity to choose replacement clothing after taking a shower. We always ensure a sufficient amount of clothing in an attempt to allow individuals to pick and choose the clothing they would like to wear. We take for granted the choice we have […]
Dear Tony, Thanks so much for the fantastic opportunity you gave to my colleagues and I from RBS yesterday at the Mission for the “breakfast challenge”. We all throughly enjoyed our time with you and found the whole experience to be of huge benefit in every possible way. What you have done over so many […]
I can feel a very Happy Easter coming on! Without thinking, (a trait I suffer from on a regular basis)! I remember making a comment to a group of volunteers a couple of weeks ago about how nice it would be if we could give all our guests an Easter Egg to celebrate Easter Sunday. Yay! Guess […]
