To coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Cardinal Hume Centre and the launch of its new website, 25 short films will be released throughout this year to highlight the many people who have been touched by the centre and its work. One of these is OA Philip Marsden (J74).

Chief Executive, Cathy Corcoran, said: “It's 25 years since Cardinal Basil Hume established the Centre to help homeless young people who were sleeping on the streets of London and families living in dire bed and breakfast accommodation.  As we celebrate a quarter of a century of serving the community, we feel it is important to pay testament to the incredible impact the Centre has had and the legacy of Cardinal Hume.  What better way to do that than to hear directly from those who have been involved in it over the years.

The Centre has evolved not just help homeless young people but to support hundreds of disadvantaged people in the Westminster area. We are sure Father Basil would be proud of the work that has been done and continues to be done in his name.”
