History
  • The Messenger House Trust was founded by Josephine Lomax-Simpson in 1970. Lomax-Simpson used money she had inherited from her mother to purchase a property on Malcolm Road, Wimbledon, which became the first of nine houses established between 1970 and 1981 to provide accommodation for single mothers and their babies, and homeless young men. She called the house the ‘Messenger House’ in memory of her mother, and created the Messenger House Trust. In 1970 the aims of the charity were to ‘promote the physical, moral and mental welfare of mothers (married or unmarried) and their children who were in need of resettlement or rehabilitation’, and also to ‘care for deprived children and young persons in need’.
