Marylebone Project, 1 October 2026

Where can I get help now the Marylebone Project has closed?

For more than 90 years, the Marylebone Project has supported women experiencing homelessness and crisis. The Marylebone Project is now closed and is no longer able to provide accommodation, advice or other support services.

If you need help, you are not alone. Other organisations and services may be able to support you. This guide provides details of some of the help available in London, particularly in and around Westminster.

Important information about this guide

Contact details, opening times, eligibility requirements, and available services can change. Please contact an organisation directly or check its website before travelling wherever possible.

This information is provided as a guide only and was checked as accurate in September 2026.

Church Army and the Marylebone Project are not responsible for the services provided by any of the organisations listed in this guide. Inclusion in this guide does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee that a particular service will be suitable, available or able to provide support.
