Support for the homeless across London
Order of Malta volunteers in teams deliver packs to hostels and hotels
London, 12 May 2020
As the weeks roll on, the need to support the homeless is still high on the agenda. The Order’s Brompton Project is operating in shifts, with volunteers working 3 days a week, collecting and boxing up an average of 2000 items. The packs include clothing and basic essentials. They are then loaded up by five volunteer drivers who drive to four hotels (for 200 clients) and seven hostels (for 480 clients) each Friday and deliver them.
All activities are undertaken observing government guidelines for social distancing, plus wearing masks and gloves.

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.
