President of the Liberal Democrats visits flagship hostel
27 March 2009
Baroness Ros Scott, president of the Liberal Democrat Party, visited Endell Street this week to learn more about the work of St Mungo's.
The hostel has undergone a £3.2 million transformation with the aid of a government grant, and now provides residents with access to work and learning opportunities, as well as helping them to address mental and physical health problems. The work was mentioned at the prestigious 2009 Civic Trust architectural awards.
Baroness Scott, who has been visiting a number of homeless centres across the country, said: ""Without the work of charities like St Mungo's, the outlook for many more people would be dire."
Tanya English, Executive Director of Fundraising and Communications, said: "The new Endell Street is a state-of-the-art centre, a model of how homeless people can get the help they need to make permanent life changes. We are extremely proud of it."
