Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved and discover the joy of giving. We believe no one is too poor to not be able to help another person, and that we all need one another to live joyful lives. Scroll below to find out how you can join us and become a member of our Community. It's more than volunteering!

Visit the homeless

Come with us to the streets of London to give sandwich, drinks and share a smile with someone living rough. We all need a comforting word sometimes, especially when we are going through a difficult time. Would you volunteer to be the one to make somebody's day?

Stories from our members

To glimpse the Kingdom in a Cup of Tea

"What Sant'Egidio teaches me is the humility to recognise that we are each poor in different ways, and that we each reap and sow mercy, kindness, love, prayer and peace. Guests and volunteers, hungry and thirsty, come together to be filled, in God's grace."
