The St Giles Trust, a Southwark-based charity working to support ex-prisoners, has today been named winners of the 2007 Andy Ludlow Homelessness Award – making it the first organisation to win the award for a second time.
The charity’s Straight to Work (S2W) programme received the award from broadcaster Jon Snow at a special ceremony at BFI Southbank organised by London Councils. Communities Minister Iain Wright MP was a special guest at the ceremony.
St Giles Trust saw off the challenge of five other shortlisted projects to collect the £10,000 top prize. It becomes the ninth winner of the awards which are organised by London Councils to highlight good practice and innovative ways of tackling and reducing homelessness across the capital. The awards are sponsored by Communities and Local Government (CLG), the London Housing Foundation and Shelter.
