Charities
Each year, St Michael’s commits to supporting two charities as part of our Christian duty to serve others. We give a proportion of our donated income to an international and a domestic charity, both nominated by members of the congregation. We also support organisations in other ways, such as by offering reduced rates to local charities and special collections for emergency appeals.
Our current charities are:
The Listening Place
The Listening Place offers completely confidential support to anyone over 18 who feels that life is no longer worth living. The service is free, with no waiting list and is in person at one of its London sites.

Ghetto Classics
Ghetto Classics is the flagship programme of the Art of Music Foundation established in 2007. It is a community initiative that involves over 500 children in Korogocho, one of Kenya’s biggest slums, plus many more in 10 satellite areas around Nairobi, Kiambu and Mombasa. Through the discipline of studying music, the children learn many life skills and are also given other income generating opportunities and social assistance, which in turn benefit their families and the community.
