Volunteers wanted!
Live-in community members and volunteers are needed at Giuseppe Conlon House. Come and be a part of a community of hospitality and non-violent resistance. If you want to live simply, in community with the poor, and work for peace and justice, then this is for you!
​
Tasks are diverse and include housekeeping, repairs, gardening, administration, case work, organizing and taking part in workshops and vigils, and spending time with guests as well as being involved with other projects. We usually expect volunteers to make a minimum commitment of 6 months. We offer free accommodation and meals.
​
We ask potential volunteers to complete the questionnaire form after reading our information for prospective volunteers. It can often take some months until a vacancy comes up, so please let us know in advance if you are interested in joining our community.

Regular events: Every third Monday of the month at 12.30 pm we host a one-hour prayer vigil in solidarity with migrants and refugees who have been victims of our cruel European border policies. As part of the liturgy, we read the names and stories of people who have died attempting dangerous crossings that are a result of the government's hostile environment policy. The vigil takes place outside the Home Office on Marsham Street, London.
