As the temperatures soar, the streets become an even more incredibly dangerous environment. While many look forward to the summer months, extreme heat poses a severe, life-threatening risk to our neighbours experiencing homelessness. Dehydration, heat exhaustion, and sunstroke are critical dangers when you have no place to escape the sun.
At Streets Kitchen, we believe that access to basic resources is a fundamental human right. We are out on the streets across London every single day, providing direct, ground-level support. But right now, we need your urgent help to both restock our mobile supplies and keep our physical doors open as the weather turns extreme.
We operate entirely on a model of Solidarity Not Charity. Every single penny you donate goes directly towards frontline survival resources and community-led relief.
Where Your Money Goes:
The Emergency Solidarity Hub: Financial support to open and run our Hub during periods of extreme weather. This provides a vital, air-cooled, safe space where people can escape the blistering sun, rest in the shade, rehydrate, access facilities & support, and find respite from the dangerous heat.
Water and Hydration Supplies: High-quality reusable bottles, electrolyte powders, and emergency water packs to prevent dangerous dehydration on the streets.
Shelter and Protection: Hard-wearing tents and lightweight summer sleeping bags to provide safety, dignity, and a basic layer of protection from the elements.
Sun Safety Essentials: High-factor sunscreen, hats, and cooling items to protect people from severe sunburn and heat-related illnesses.
