Chief Executive Officer

The 999 Club is a highly inclusive, community-focused charity supporting people in south-east London who are experiencing homelessness or mental health problems. Our goal is to provide a friendly open door for anyone that is sleeping on the streets or at risk of sleeping on the streets, 365 days a year, so that we can help people to help themselves escape from homelessness.

With a 30-year heritage, we play a vital role in our community and with community partners. In the average year, more than 1,600 different people will use our services. We support circa 300 people a year to find a new home or stay in their current home, and 300 people to start a job, training or volunteer. Our support is at the pace that is right for our members, that supports their goals.

We are a highly inclusive organisation, focussing on co-production with our members at all levels and our staff are involved in major decision making. We are in an enviable position, with a strong, dedicated team, a well-respected reputation within both our local community and beyond, as well as stable income, with the benefit of owning our own building.

We will be looking to develop our next strategy plan shortly, with exciting new opportunities available to us. We have a diversified range of income and we’re well positioned for sustainable growth.
