Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, and brand new clothing to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.

Olallo House is in central London and offers accommodation and specialist client-focused support to street homeless men and women. Clients to the service include migrants, victims of modern-day slavery / trafficking, TB patients and homeless people on discharge from hospital – non-UK and UK nationals, all deemed vulnerable due to a range of factors which may also include substance misuse and poor mental and/or physical health. We focus on holistic support services encompassing the whole person and within this, health and well-being services play a significant role in the support we provide. Advice, skills training and employment support is offered to all clients and this features significantly during each client's stay at Olallo House. We have a highly skilled and multi-lingual staff team able to communicate in a wide range of languages. Our goal is to ensure that any person who comes into contact with our services does not return to street homelessness. We believe that this best achieved by working in partnership.

Our supported accommodation services give homeless and vulnerable people the specialist support they need to find stability and move on in their lives. In 2019-20 we provided more than 1,200 homeless adults, care leavers and young people at risk with a safe place to live. We also supported a total of 393 people in our cold weather shelters in North London and Redbridge. As well as providing secure accommodation, these services offer intensive 1-1 support to tackle the underlying causes of homelessness. Each hostel specialises in meeting one of four priority needs: mental health, substance misuse, offending or the needs of vulnerable young people, including those leaving care. Keeping someone off the streets is only the first step. To break the cycle of homelessness, our accommodation services focus on equipping people to move on with their lives and achieve sustainable, long term recovery. We do this by: Minimising harm from substance misuse and helping people to access appropriate treatment Supporting people with mental ill health who are leaving hospital or facing exclusion from other services Supporting young people to develop the skills they need to live independently Working with people leaving prison to break offending patterns and re-integrate them into the community Enabling all clients to grow in confidence and develop appropriate life skills Most of our hostels are staffed 24 hours a day by support workers who are committed to providing a stable and secure environment for clients as they work with them to address their needs. Typical lengths of stay vary by service, from four weeks to up to two years. Many of our hostel residents are struggling with more than one need at a time, including poor physical and mental health. Our hostel staff have been trained in Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE), ensuring that our hostel-based work takes account of the persistent effects of adversity or trauma on our clients, and their resulting psychological and emotional needs.
