Grants for work with people living in poverty, the elderly and infirm, homeless people and children with disabilities or at risk of deprivation. 

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.
