Hope & Anchor Community Church exists for the advancement of the christian faith in London, England, and elsewhere in the united Kingdom or abroad as the trustees may from time to time think fit. We do a street outreach every Saturday night outside Camden Town station. We give out free tea, coffee and food. We also have clothes and sleeping bags stored nearby.

The focus of our work is on helping disadvantaged young people, aged 16-35, who are homeless or in housing need, to achieve the transition from dependence to independence. The approach to the young person’s needs is holistic. The YMCA North London offers integrated access to affordable accommodation, training, personal development, guidance and job searching facilities. The relationship with the young person is based on a formal agreement as to how the facilities and local community resources will be used in making the transition to independence, commitment to which is a condition of continued residence. The YMCA North London runs cookery classes in hostel which gives our residents the opportunity to learn to cook and eat healthily to better equip them for independent living.
