Church Army

The Church Army is committed to expressing the Christian faith through words and action and has a long history of innovative projects.  Christ Church has a specific interest in their work with homeless women.

The Church Army has worked with homeless women since 1891 and in 1932 took over the long established work of the Shaftesbury Institute, providing accommodation for single, homeless women in Marylebone.

The Marylebone project is a unique project in Central London which offers 5 specialised services to assist homeless women in their transition between homelessness and independent accommodation:

• A Women's Day Centre
• The Cosway Street Hostel, providing emergency accommodation
• The Rough Sleepers Unit
• The Mental Health Unit
• Elgood/Portman House, supporting refugees and those fleeing domestic violence.
