What charity should I donate to if I want to help the London homeless population? (lemmy.world)

I know an internet search can show the options, but not all charities are created equal. I really just want to know what charities are known for using the donations sensibly, and if there are any that are in dire need of extra funds more than others.

Shelter and St. Mungo’s deal with helping the homeless and those under threat of homelessness.

Don’t under any circumstances give anything to the Salvation Army, as they discriminate against LGBT people and push a religious conservative agenda.

Haha exactly why I asked this kind of question; good dodge.

Both Shelter and St. Mungo's look quite good, so I might just set up donations to both.
