Giuseppe Conlon House is a London-based charity that provides accommodation and support for homeless and destitute male asylum seekers and other migrants with no recourse to public funds. We also offer help and assistance to others who are in need or experiencing poverty in our local area, and we support other local groups with the same aims. Based on our experience in providing charitable accommodation, we also offer talks and other educational opportunities. We are a small charity that relies entirely on the help of a small group of volunteers and the generosity of our donors.
The objectives of Giuseppe Conlon House are to relieve poverty, financial hardship and homelessness by providing housing, pastoral and practical support, and education to the public on the nature, causes and effects of poverty and homelessness.
Our house of hospitality was named after Patrick "Giuseppe" Conlon, a gentle Irishman who was wrongly convicted in 1979 alongside his family in the Guildford Four and Maguire Seven case. Tragically, he died in prison five years later before all the sentences in the case were overturned. Giuseppe Conlon remains an important reminder of the unjust treatment of migrants and he inspires us to work toward a more welcoming future.
