The Jellicoe Society

In the 1920s, Fr Basil Jellicoe (right) challenged the consciences of the rich - to transform the slums near Euston Station. The quality housing which was built still benefits low-income households. He did all this as Magdalen College’s “Missioner”.  Inspired by his story, The Jellicoe Society exists to enable today's students and staff to help, and learn from, London’s inner-city communities today through the work of the Contextual Theology Centre and London Citizens.
