Food and friendliness for those in great need
London, 17 April 2014
In response to the rise in homelessness in Britain, the British Association, together with the Companions of the Order of Malta and the OMV (Order of Malta Volunteers) has launched soup kitchens in three major British cities. In one area of central London, homeless guests queue up for welcome food parcels.
About

The mission of the Order of Malta is inspired by its tradition of ‘Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum', to assist the poor and the sick, and bear witness to the Christian faith.

The Sovereign Order of Malta is a sovereign subject of international law. The Order - which is based in Rome, in via Condotti - has its own Government, an independent magistracy, and bilateral diplomatic relations with 110 countries.

The Order of St John of Jerusalem is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilisation. Present in Palestine in around 1048, it is a lay religious Order, traditionally of military, chivalrous, noble nature.
