Spitalfields Crypt Trust

Who we are

Our Vision To see lives put back together

Our Mission To help people who are facing problems of homelessness, addiction, poverty or social isolation, to put their lives back together through the provision of a range of high-quality support, rehabilitation and training services.

Our culture and values

At SCT, we see a clear connection between best practice in addictions recovery and in our inclusive Christian ethos, and we’re committed to continually learning and growing by engaging with both.

Since its inception, SCT’s work has been inspired and motivated by Christian faith and values. The life and teaching of Jesus is characterised by love – a love which is honest and challenging, accepting and healing. Our staff demonstrate similar characteristics, showing warmth and kindness while being clear and direct.

We are committed to working with people of any faith or none, and to helping them at their point of immediate need. We aim to provide a variety of pathways to recovery, wholeness and new life, tailored to individual needs and aspirations. In some of these pathways we offer opportunities to explore the relevance of the Christian faith, which are always optional.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We want every SCT location to be a place of belonging, where staff, volunteers and the wider community feel valued for who they are and the contribution they make to what we do. 

Together, we commit to working hard to ensure that everyone’s skills and gifts are put to good use and appropriate adaptations are made to roles and tasks to make this a reality.
