Barons Court Project

Who we are

OUR HISTORY

Barons Court Project was established in 1985 after a group of Psychiatrists and Social Workers realised there was little or no provision for people living with mental health issues and people who are homeless in the locality. The company was registered on 23rd October 1985 (Number 1963453) and is also a registered Charity (Number 296034).

Barons Court Project is the only day centre in Hammersmith and Fulham who support people that are on low income, homeless and/or vulnerable to mental health issues. We’re the only day centre in the borough and provide a space where people's basic needs can be met. It’s a place where you can take a shower, do your laundry and have something to eat.

Not only do we provide these but also offer a range of wellness activities for everyone, from yoga, guitar sessions and art to workshops in life skills around cooking, IT and employability as well as supportive groups to aid in recovery and reduce isolation. We offer 1-1 support sessions where people can get advice and assistance with areas they may need help with.

We provide a safe environment where people can express themselves and feel a part of a community.

The Barons Court Project is a friendly day centre in Hammersmith and Fulham serving people who are homeless and/or vulnerable to mental health issues. We are the only day center for those rough sleeping in the Hammersmith and Fulham borough. 

We offer practical services such as showers, laundry, and meals as well as a range of educational activites and also chances to partake in social activites, around keeping people well.

We also have 1-1 support sessions where service users can get advice, guidance and assistance from the Project Workers around areas they may need help with.

We feel we are unique in that we work with homeless people to try and help them find accommodation and get back into employment, education or training but also with people whose mental health is a long term issue. We provide structure and routine and a range of activites designed to improve their quality of life.
