Ground breaking grassroots night shelter opens in former industrial site

Charities, community groups, the Mayor of London and local councils are coming together to open an innovative new winter night shelter to help people with nowhere to sleep in Camden and Islington this winter, with the opening of The Glass House: a ‘liminal’ space project.

The project will be run for three months in a disused factory building in Islington after a private owner offered the property to community groups to help people experiencing homelessness.
