Our history

St Mungo’s was founded in 1969 when a small group of volunteers decided to do something to help people sleeping rough outside Charing Cross station in London.

The group formalised into a charity and we secured our first hostel in a former marmite factory in Vauxhall in 1973. Since then, including through joining forces with Broadway Housing in 2014, St Mungo’s has grown into one of the country’s leading homelessness charities, supporting tens of thousands of people a year.
