Giving FAQs

Here are just a few of the questions we are asked from time to time:

How much of my donation goes on administration?
We are proud to send 98% (according to our 2011 audit) of everything we are given to our programme work. Just 2 pence in every pound you give goes on administration and fundraising.

Where can I find out about your trustees and financial information?
Our trustees and financial history are listed on the charity commission website.

Are you a registered charity?
Yes, our registered charity number is 270659.

Why are you based in London, isn't that more expensive than other parts of the country?
Our office is in the London City Mission building. It was built on the grounds of an old church and can only be used for charitable purposes. For this reason, our rent is lower than you would expect for central London. Being in London means that our staff are able to come in from quite a wide area. In addition, we save money by sharing resources and experience with LCM and Pilgrim Homes (who also share the building).

Donation helpline:
