Turnaround @ Aram House

Turnaround has provided nightshelter accommodation since November 1992, when seven Christian - based Newham churches pulled together to meet the needs of local homeless people by providing a meal, a bed and a warm, safe environment for 30 people each night in which to escape the cold winter months. We were the first London shelter to begin this model and since that time we have helped church based groups in seven other London boroughs and towns to set up their own shelter using the same model. The project has always been dependent on the tremendous support of the churches and over 50 volunteers who bring their gifts and goodwill to work with Turnaround staff.

Since July 2005 with the opportunity of a short life tenancy on Aram House, Turnaround has been able to offer accommodation through the year to single homeless people of Newham.

By offering this basic need of food and a bed for the night Turnaround provides some stability in often chaotic lives. People are then encouraged to engage with workers in the drawing up of a support plan that will aim towards resettlement into accommodation and mainstream society.
