You might be surprised to learn...
Field Lane began life in the notorious “Field Lane" area, the setting for Charles Dicken’s infamous novel, Oliver Twist. Andrew Provan, a London City Missioner, came to the area in 1841 to teach children and young people - upon witnessing the effect of abject poverty and ill health on the residents he established the charity. Early supporters included Charles Dickens who wrote about the charity’s work in “Household Words". He also used the area called Field Lane as a setting for Fagin’s den in Oliver Twist.
In 2019 the charity had a portfolio of 100 accommodation sites. 21,500 hours of support to 105 people is provided each month
Field Lane is seeking to develop between 1 and 2 new projects each year.
What makes Field Lane different..
Field Lane’s Christian heritage and understanding of society means that it is client-centred, acts in a caring manner, and ensures dignity and respect for everyone that it works with. The charity tailors support to the needs of every individual it works with. It provides compassionate, innovative and individualised care whether it is in its community services, supported housing, nursing care or its residential family support centre.

Other ways to support
As well as financial donations, Field Lane would welcome donations-in-kind, such as furniture and household items preferably new. Whatever amount, your donation makes a huge difference to their work. It is not a volunteering organisation.
