Now in his 30th year at Whitechapel, Mr Miller said the award was a “fantastic honour” and he was looking forward to a really special experience at Buckingham Palace. “I am grateful to all those who work, volunteer, support and serve the Whitechapel Mission, as they are the true deservers of this recognition,” he said.

Joe had been living rough on the streets since he was a teenager. In and out of care, foster homes and
detention centres. When he first came to The Whitechapel Misison, all he wanted was clean clothes, a hot shower and something to eat. Through our life skills centre, he has been inspired to learn the skills and confidence to move himself forward. He's been taught about IT, writing a CV, cooking and interview skills. We've helped him secure accommodation and benefits; and, most recently, a job in the post room of a global bank.

Our Mission Statement

The Whitechapel Mission is dedicated to providing a lifeline to the men and women caught in the cycles of poverty, hopelessness and dependencies of many kinds, and to see their lives transformed to hope, joy and lasting productivity.

Our goal is to help people to help themselves, giving them the confidence they need to become independent, which we do through practical support and advice and by teaching them the life skills they need to succeed.

We believe everyone deserves a chance, regardless of their background, race or religion.

We are open every day of the year and each day we help as many as 300 homeless and vulnerable men and women.

We know that we can, and are, making a positive and lasting difference to the homeless who ask for our help.

Since 1876, The Whitechapel Mission has been called to serve the men and women caught in the cycles of poverty, hopelessness and dependencies of many kinds, and to see their lives transformed to hope, joy and lasting productivity.
