The project is designed to highlight the problem of homelessness – the plight of its participants – and help those affected to change their lives and build new skills.

GPP, part of the Titan Wealth Holdings group, has provided funding for the annual “MyLondon” project, which aims to empower those who are and have recently been made homeless.

The project involves a photography competition, which has run every summer for the last 10 years. GPP is funding the prizes. The 2023 event took place between 26 May and 2 June, with awards including best portrait and most creative photo. MyLondon is run by Café Art.

Participants in the contest have all recently become homeless; coming mainly from art groups run by homelessness-sector organisations, including Crisis, St Mungo’s and 240 Project, Titan Wealth said in a statement.

The MyLondon project also involves photography training, an exhibition, and printing and selling calendars, greeting cards, and photographs. 

The initiative aims to inspire people affected by homelessness in London to create lasting change in their lives through confidence building, learning new skills and social inclusion. It also seeks to increase understanding of the social basis and causes of homelessness.

Titan Wealth contacted Cafe Art to rent paintings and MyLondon photos to decorate its recently expanded office in London. The rental scheme supports artists and photographers who are and have been homeless.
