Who do we work with?
Who supports us:
CARITAS Westminster
Social Apostolate is an integral part of Caritas Westminster and is actively supported in its mission to improve the living conditions of people in need, combat social exclusion, and promote human rights. In 2022, the Social Apostolate team at St. Ignatius received the "Outstanding Service to the Parish" award during the annual "Love in Action" ceremony organised by Caritas Westminster, in recognition of its exceptional commitment to helping those experiencing homelessness and other life challenges.
Embassy of the Republic of Poland
It is actively involved in initiatives supporting the Polish community, mainly through crisis assistance, purchasing essential items for homeless individuals, co-funding therapeutic sessions for people struggling with addiction, and helping to promote Polish culture and traditions.
The Felix Project
The Felix Project is a charity that collects surplus food (i.e. food that would otherwise go to waste) and distributes it for free to organisations and people in need across London. Thanks to this, we are able to prepare fresh and nutritious meals for homeless and vulnerable individuals who come to the Social Apostolate.
