A Beacon of Hope – Connecting Boroughs

Connecting Boroughs, led by the inspiring Queeny Singh, is a community charity dedicated to supporting families in crisis. What began as a small act of kindness in North West London has now grown into a vital support network across North London, South London, and surrounding boroughs.

Due to the overwhelming demand for help, Connecting Boroughs is expanding its reach to ensure that no family is left without food, support, or hope.

Queeny’s Inspirational Journey

Six years ago, Queeny found herself facing homelessness with her children. Placed in a family hostel in Hampstead, she experienced firsthand how quickly life can change and how isolating homelessness can be.

Despite the challenges, Queeny refused to give up. She knew she had to create a better future for her children—but she also saw the struggles of many other families around her who had nowhere to turn.

Empathy Turned into Action

While living in the hostel, Queeny met single mothers who had fled domestic abuse, refugees escaping war, and families simply trying to survive day to day. Although they had temporary accommodation, they lacked basic support, food security, and emotional care.

Queeny realised that sometimes the smallest act—a hot meal, kind words, or practical help—can make the biggest difference when people feel forgotten.

A Selfless Sacrifice

Using her own limited resources, Queeny began cooking and providing meals for families in the hostel, supporting up to 20 families at a time. Her kindness became a lifeline for mothers and children who were struggling to survive.

When her personal funds ran out, she faced a difficult decision. But instead of stopping, she reached out for help.

A Community United

Queeny contacted local businesses, charities, and community members—and the response was incredible. Together, they raised over £16,000, providing essential support to 108 families through food, clothing, toiletries, and everyday necessities.

Even when the hostel closed and families were moved to different parts of London, Connecting Boroughs continued to support them.

Growing to Meet the Need

What started in one hostel in North London has now grown far beyond that. Families in North London, South London, and multiple other boroughs are reaching out daily for help.

The need is greater than ever, and Connecting Boroughs is expanding to meet that demand—ensuring vulnerable families receive meals, guidance, and compassionate support wherever they are placed.

A Vision for the Future

Connecting Boroughs is committed to strengthening communities and standing beside families in their hardest moments. With the help of local partners and supporters, we continue to grow and reach more people in need.

Our story shows the power of kindness, community, and determination. Together, we can change lives.
