London soup kitchens are currently closed
Amid concerns for all the Order takes this decision
London 19 March 2020
Respecting government guidelines and with concerns for the health and safety of our guests and our helpers we have with regret had to close our soup kitchens in London: Monday’s Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Wednesday’s Breakfast club and the Thursday’s soup kitchen.
Our team leaders and regional coordinators will be in contact with all our helpers and as soon as we can, we let you know plans going forward.
Our prayers are especially for those suffering due to the pandemic. Pope Francis has reminded us of the importance of small gestures of kindness to each other and exhorted the Virgin Mary to watch over the world, that she ‘….shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.’

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.
