Earls Court help from ECCP Project in London

There are five drop in centres run by Earls Court. The charity organisation provides help from these locations for the vulnerable, with targeted programmes available for women as well. Not only may basic needs be given, such as free food from the Coffee Bar, but they also provide low cost counselling and referrals to job programmes.

Any type of help from the ECCP Project is free to families that are eligible. The support is also friendly and non-judgmental. Much of the assistance is also provided in the form of referrals to other agencies across London.

For those that want to receive free advice, an appointment is required. While people can drop in at an Earls Court centre, if there is a high demand the individuals with an appointment will be given priority. The staff at this charity provide support on a number of need.

Clients can get help in finding accommodations. With the high cost of private housing in the city of London, and the lack of social homes, this is always in high demand. The ECCP project can also refer families to council schemes that are local to them for rent deposits.

The Earls Court Community Project staff will offer hands on support too. Whether it is access to a phone, signposting to food banks, or help in filling forms for emergency welfare schemes, that and more is offered. The offices are open for this on Monday to Friday from 10.00am to 4pm.

A drop in centre is also for women. All types of clients use the service, from survivors of violence to refugees from over countries. There are also those threatened with unemployment, loneliness, illness and more. There is a combination of social services given as well as more practical support.

Some of the activities will be crafts one time per week. A hot meal service is given on Thursdays as well, and women from London also cook and prepare them as well. If this is not enough for food, then vouchers can be provided by social workers at the Earls Court Community Project.

Food and clothing from ECCP Project

Free clothing is for the low income and homeless on the streets of London. The centre operates from donations from the area. Many churches as well as retail shops provide goods to the Earl Court. Volunteers assemble the goods into boxes, wash them, and sort them.

The clothing store from Earls Court will give families on a low income gently used clothes. In some cases, there may also be furniture for people starting a new tenancy agreement. The second-hand clothing provided by ECCP will be in decent shape. The stop is only open on Wednesdays, so one day per week.

Hot drinks and small snacks or meals may also be provided by the Coffee Bar. Those who drop in can get fed and also meet with a staff member to get other support. All the food is provided and non-judgmental.

The Earls Court meal centre is also only open on Wednesday. Whether someone is hungry, lonely, or just wants social activity, this location can provide all of that and more.
