Organisations tackling homelessness across the capital are being invited to apply for the London Homelessness Awards 2026, with a total prize fund of £60,000 on offer.

Sponsored by the London Homelessness Foundation, Shelter, Crisis, London Housing Directors and the Mayor of London, the awards recognise projects delivering practical support to people who are homeless or at risk.

The overall winner will receive £30,000, with second and third prizes of £20,000 and £10,000 also available.

Winners also receive a professionally commissioned film about their work, along with PR support and ongoing backing from the London Homelessness Foundation.
