Open House

Our house is open

Open House is our welcome to people experiencing homelessness in London. It is exactly what it sounds like. We open up our house to those in need, giving them a space to relax, eat great food, share good company and be restored.

Evening meals
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings

Our team of 160 cooks lovingly prepare dishes which are served to our Open House guests by our volunteers in the parish centre. After the tasty two-course dinner, we also spend some time together in prayer and reflection.

Breakfast club
Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings

Breakfast club offers those sleeping on the streets a place to enjoy a cooked breakfast, hot shower, and quiet cuppa over the morning papers.The church is always open should guests and volunteers want to spend some time in prayer and reflection.

Film club
First Sunday evening of every month

Our homeless and vulnerable guests spend their days in Soho and the West End surrounded by expensive cinemas they are unlikely to see a film in - this is why we launched our own film club! Using the big screen in our parish centre, we screen a wide range of classic and contemporary movies and provide snacks and drinks.

Join our team

Open House is made possible by people who give their time. Whether you cook, serve or simply share good company with our guests, you help make this place a home. If you would like to serve at Open House, Breakfast Club or Film Club, please get in touch with us.

Build our mission

St Patrick's is powered by people who give generously of what they have. Every gift, large or small, helps us feed the hungry, open our doors in prayer and reach the many in Soho who do not yet know Jesus. Will you help us build our mission?
