The Mission has vehicles used to collect food and clothing desperately needed for our work.   This page has been created in the hope of keeping everybody informed as to where the vehicles are at any time.   If you have gifts for the Mission, but are having difficulty getting them to us, then hopefully this page may let you know when a vehicle will be in your area.

The Trustees wish to thank all those who have supported the Mission this year, be it financially or with gifts. Your continued support allows us to be there, throughout the year.

We understand that there are many deserving causes asking for your assistance and we know that some of the churches and groups that were able to support us this year will offer that support to another charity next year. Please accept our thanks for the support you were able to offer.

It has been brought to our attention that some letters of thanks have not arrived through the post. If you do not receive a letter of thanks, please let us know, as we feel it is very important to send our thanks. ALL GIFTS GRATEFULLY RECEIVED AND ACKNOWLEDGED

We make a promise that every penny donated to the Whitechapel Mission will be spent directly to help people who are homeless.  No donation will be used to pay for administration or fundraising.  No donation will be used to pay for electricity, gas, or telephone.  We will never use your money to advertise or to generate more money.

As you will be aware, we do not advertise on Television or send out thousands of letters to unknown people, in the hope they may wish to start supporting the work. We only produce this one report a year in an attempt to keep administrative costs to a minimum. We believe that you would wish us to use your financial donations directly to assist homeless people. At the same time, we do need to at least maintain the level of financial support and possibly increase it to meet the higher demands for our services. If you would like additional reports for friends or colleagues, please let us know and we would be delighted to supply them.

A gift of £3 a month is worth more to us than £36 a year. A regular gift will provide us with the ability to plan our work for the years ahead. This is essential when trying to provide much needed hope and support to those who have been let down so often before. And if you are in a position to Gift Aid your donation, it is worth £46.15

A gift of £3 will allow us to offer a full cooked breakfast to a homeless person for a whole week and you could become a part of a real and lasting solution for homeless people.

We ask you to consider a standing order as a method of supporting the Mission.
