The contractor helped the charity create a week of activities, 23-27 September, which included cooking breakfast, a charity shop challenge and providing advice on employment skills.
Steve Holbrook, Managing Director at Skanska, explained: "According to the latest figures, homelessness is now at its highest level for a decade and rough sleeping in London has more than doubled since 2010, with almost a thousand people sleeping rough in the capital on any one night.

"People who are forced to sleep on the City's streets face incredible dangers, so charities like the SCT are so important, as they give them advice, training and a hot meal. We are delighted to support the work the SCT does and the people that rely on them."
Gary Davidge, Centre Manager at Spitalfields Crypt Trust, added: "Skanska has been supporting us for over 12 years. They have helped us to cook hundreds of breakfasts for people facing homelessness every Thursday, which has been a huge help to us.
"It was fantastic to see such a great response to this volunteering week; we couldn't be happier, and it has made such a positive difference to the people we support, thank you."
