For the Church, charity is not a kind of welfare activity which could equally well be left to others, but a part of her nature, an indispensable expression of her very being.

Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est (2006)

Who we are

Caritas Westminster is a Catholic social action agency that serves those most at risk of exclusion through poverty, disability, isolation and exploitation.

Mission

Our mission is to love and serve our neighbours through coordinated social action that upholds their dignity, engages their support, provides practical responses to their needs, and improves their wellbeing.

Where we work

Caritas Westminster operates within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Westminster. The diocese is one of the smallest in England and Wales in geographical area, but the largest in terms of Catholic population and priests. The diocesan boundaries include the London boroughs north of the River Thames, between the River Lea to the east and the borough of Hillingdon to the west, the county of Hertfordshire to the north and the borough of Spelthorne in Surrey.
