The St John Southworth Fund supports the work of parishes, organisations and projects across a range of issues including poverty, homelessness, old age and infirmity and children with disabilities or who are in danger of deprivation. It also gives some grants direct to individuals.
Grants are awarded from several constituent funds, many though not all of which provide help to the poor and needy across the 33 London Boroughs, including those in Southwark and Brentwood dioceses as well as Westminster. One fund is specifically for supporting charitable activities in the boroughs of Hackney, Haringey, Tower Hamlets and Islington, and some funds are also available for the parts of Westminster Diocese that lie outside the London boroughs.
The St John Southworth fund has awarded grants of over £2 million since its inception in 2007. To help maintain this vital fund so that it can continue to alleviate poverty and deprivation across Westminster Diocese, please donate at StJohnSouthworthFundDonate |

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.
