Caritas Westminster is the social action agency in the Catholic Diocese of Westminster. We seek to bring about a society where everyone lives a life of dignity and worth by working with parishes to make a difference in local communities through setting up social action projects (e.g. food banks, night shelters, knife-disposal bins) and through partnerships with national and international organisations. We run services for women who have been trafficked, adults with learning disabilities, the Deaf community and volunteers. We offer grants to those in crisis, and work and training opportunities through our Social Enterprise employment initiative.
