About Turn a Corner

TURN A CORNER

London’s only mobile library for people experiencing homelessness

Turn a Corner is a mobile library and support hub for people experiencing street homelessness in London.

Over 800 people each year rely on our service for books and mental stimulation, human connection, essential daily items and tailored practical support.

You get to know the staff. They're very nice, very nice people - they're like friends. It's the closest thing to friends that you make when you’re homeless, because you see them every week.
