St Mary's Bourne Street

Registered charity 1134828 · since 2010stmarysbournest.com·Westminster·Updated 29 October 2026

Key takeaways

Its stated themes are homelessness and poverty, and the closest match is the St. Antony Fund for the Poor, which gives assistance to homeless and needy people who come to the church.
Its annual report also describes food and clothing for homeless people around Victoria station, ESOL classes and a clothing bank, so work of those kinds sits beside its own community activity.
Neither its annual report nor its register entry gives a grant range or annual giving figure, so there is no published basis for a request size; keep a first enquiry modest and ask what it can consider.
No application process is published, so use the contact shown on its website to make a short enquiry, and nothing published says when it decides or how competitive its giving is.
Its registered area of operation is City Of Westminster, but its geographic focus is not stated, so ask it directly whether work outside that area is considered.

The church's stated aim is to witness to the Catholic faith in the Church of England and draw people to worship through Catholic teaching and practice, liturgy and fine music.
