Nickie at The Passage

For more than a decade, Cities of London & Westminster MP, Nickie Aiken, has campaigned to improve services and support for rough sleepers. 

Nickie has worked with leading charities including The Passage to end the criminalisation of rough sleepers, repealing the antiquated 1824 Vagrancy Act.

By working together, we can end rough sleeping. Last week, Nickie reaffirmed her commitment to doing so, meeting with CEO Mick Clarke at The Passage to sign their London Charter To End Rough Sleeping.

The Charter will help us to:

  1. Create a shared vision and enable people and communities to support our goal
  2. Make a public commitment to work together to end rough sleeping
  3. Strengthen the partnerships that are already in place
  4. Provide opportunities for residents, businesses, workers, faith groups, charities and public bodies in London to help end rough sleeping
  5. Communicate what rough sleeping looks like in London and how to best help
  6. Provide transparency, accountability, and a way to monitor progress
