SOCIAL WORK

The West London Mission has been engaged in social action with the homeless and marginalised for over 125 years. Over this period, we have developed a range of innovative projects which support and empower some of the most vulnerable people in London. The Social Work is overseen by the Executive Director, Jon Kuhrt, who is based at Hinde Street Methodist Church.
