Thames Reach annual reviews provide stories from the year, information about what we do and our plans for the future, and detailed financial information.
This year's review features nine men and women who are all at different stages of their their personal development towards having decent homes, building supportive relationships and leading fulfilling lives.
The 2007 Annual Review: “Time to reflect”
The journey out of homelessness can be long and painful. But at Thames Reach we never give up on anyone, no matter how challenging their behaviour or how difficult their situation may seem.
We believe that people can work to overcome their problems, become more independent and live happier lives.
This year, our 375 staff and 60 volunteers helped 3,739 of London’s most vulnerable men and women.
