Brick by Brick London Home Activity Group is a charitable organisation established to provide permanent residential accommodation for people having a homeless status. In addition, homeless and unemployed people will help to renovate buildings, thereby learning a skill under the supervision of qualified tradesmen, in order to provide themselves and others with decent homes, so that they can lead independent, self-sufficient lives.

We are not political, religious or prejudiced.

We would like to emphasise that our collectors are not paid for their help.
