our faith basis
Spurgeons was founded in 1867 as a compassionate and distinctively Christian response to the plight of orphaned and vulnerable children in London. Motivated by their faith, Charles Haddon Spurgeon and his associates sought to provide shelter, education and a loving environment for the city's most vulnerable children.
In the 21st Century we continue to live out this legacy working with our society’s most vulnerable children striving to leave a positive imprint on the life of every child we work with.
Today this Christian faith remains an active and important motivation for the work we do. It forms the transparent base from which we engage with people of all faiths and none.
