What We Do

The 999 Club has been offering advice, support and a warm welcome to the most vulnerable people in the London Borough of Lewisham since 1992 when it was set up by Iris French MBE and Patricia Wyndham MBE in response to local demand.

The three Centres (in Deptford, New Cross and Downham) are run by and for local people and are open Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm, offering immediate help and support in times of crisis, as well as warmth, friendship, tea and toast.

We also offer long term support: help with applying for benefit, help with applying for jobs, help with finding accommodation, help with getting medical treatment … and so much more.

Apart from a very small amount of funding from the London Borough of Lewisham (for which we are immensely grateful) we rely entirely on fundraising from Trusts, Corporate bodies and individuals. It’s an enormous task – and we couldn’t do it without you! We are very grateful to all our supporters
