"We love because he first loved us"

- 1 John 4:19

GrowTH is a Christian charity in Tower Hamlets, working with local churches to house and empower people experiencing homelessness to start a new life.

Hope starts with a safe place.

At GrowTH, our vision is to see God transform the lives of marginalised men and women in Tower Hamlets. We are a partnership of local churches committed to showing love and practical support to our homeless neighbours.

Through our church-based night shelter and day centre, we provide hot meals, a warm and safe place to stay, a listening ear and ongoing support. Our housing project also offers supported accommodation to help guests take their next steps towards greater stability and independence.



At the heart of everything we do is our Christian faith. We offer every guest and resident the opportunity to explore Christianity, believing that a relationship with Jesus Christ can bring lasting transformation, healing and wholeness.

Join us for this year’s GrowTH Sleep Out.

Each year, supporters, volunteers and friends of GrowTH come together for our annual Sleep Out, spending one night outdoors to raise vital funds for our work supporting people experiencing homelessness in Tower Hamlets.

The Sleep Out is one of GrowTH’s biggest fundraising events and helps support our work across the Night Shelter, GrowTH Hub and supported accommodation.

But her story didn’t end there...

Kamlesh was working in a restaurant, but left his job, when he applied to renew his visa. At the time, he was living with friends, but his money ran out and he was unable to pay the rent. Kamlesh ended up on the streets and was homeless for about two years...

“I was always around alcohol. [My parents] split up. Me and my sister, we went out drinking and people would come and drag me off the street as a young kid. I started drinking before my school exams. And then I started getting into cannabis, then ecstasy, then cocaine, and then it just got worse. I was always working… working for myself, to feed my own habits...
