WHO WE ARE
Loretto UK is a UK registered charity (no. 1191616). The registered address is 7 Waldegrave Gardens, TW1 4PQ Twickenham. The objects of the charity are to advance the Catholic faith within England, for the benefit of the public, in particular, but not exclusively, by developing and facilitating environments, either in physical space or through networks of individuals, where individuals may deepen their knowledge of the Catholic faith and further their understanding of Catholic social teaching. We also collaborate with local projects and organisations to allow individuals to engage in acts of service to the community to gain experience. Additionally, we encourage individuals to grow spiritually, deepen their relationship with God and strengthen their Christian values through personal development, fellowship and spiritual guidance. Loretto UK is the data controller. This means we decide how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

We ask you not to share your password with anyone and that you change your password frequently.
