The St John Southworth Fund has been set up to support the work of parishes, organisations or individuals across a range of issues including poverty, old age and infirmity, homelessness and children with disabilities or who are in danger of deprivation.
The majority of grants will provide help to the poor and needy in the 33 London Boroughs, a catchment area which includes parts of the dioceses of Southwark, Brentwood and Westminster. There is also specific provision for supporting general charitable activities to organisations, parishes or individuals within the boroughs of Hackney, Haringey, Tower Hamlets and Islington.

Annual Reports
Born in Lancashire in 1592, St. John Southworth was ordained priest in Douai, France, in 1618. Returning to England, Fr. Southworth ministered in Westminster, in the area close to where the Cathedral now stands. During the plague of 1636, he tended the sick with outstanding devotion and courage. The casket containing his body lies in the Chapel of St. George & the English Martyrs in Westminster Cathedral, the parish where once he laboured for the Lord.
