What we do
Promote social integration
Reducing Isolation
By providing hosted places of welcome in our neighbourhood weekly, Hoxton Street Union brings people together from different backgrounds, ages, identities, surrounding them by trained volunteers that offer to everyone who passes by much more than a cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, something to bite, but the most important: all their love, attention and care.
As a result, every session builds a stronger intercultural, interracial, interethnic, and intergenerational unity in our Community.
2. increase the effectiveness of local charities and community groups
Being on the field, Hoxton Street Union helps to refer people to public social services that can care for people’s needs acting like a bridge between institutions and the community.
Local Charities, and Community groups also refer Hoxton Street Union when they identify people in need of friendship, fraternity and fellowship.
3. To resource local businesses to support local people
Hoxton Street local businesses are part of the community daily life they understand the community's needs and help us to connect individuals to other services.
By partnering and choosing local businesses and trusts to run our sessions, we create a friendly and welcoming environment while strengthening community ties and supporting local enterprises
Compromise with Ecological Integrity
Running our sessions, we are committed to protect and restore the integrity of Earth's ecological systems, with special concern for biological diversity and the natural processes that sustain life based on our Christian roots, but also to a general compromise to all people of the Earth across our neighbourhood that our consumption choices might affect.
