The bus, organised by the Change Please charity, is touring London as “a safe space with dignity and hope”.
People can get health and dental checks, hairdressing and financial advice on board, as well as help towards training, finding jobs and a step-up to independent living.
“This is about meeting people at their most vulnerable,” Change Please founder Cemal Ezel said. “We are offering the first steps towards rebuilding their lives.”
The bus, unveiled in Purley this week, is paid for by David Lloyd fitness clubs.
It marks a milestone in the five-year partnership between Change Please and the fitness group, which has raised £4.5 million so far to tackling homelessness, helped 230 people into jobs and housing and run wellbeing workshops and mentoring programmes.
The ‘driving for change’ project aims to bring services directly to people who need them most.
