The Knights of St Columba is the largest Catholic family fraternal service organization in the UK with
eight thousand members. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service
to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.

The work of the knights is carried out at both a local and national level. In recent years, the KSC's National
Action Projects have raised in excess of £500,000 for successful campaigns to support 'Wells for Water' in
Africa, the 'Help the Hospices' movement and 'Partners for Health' which ran until 2005. The current National
Action Project known as 'Unsung Heroes' will run until 2008. In conjunction with the Samaritans, the Knights
of St Columba have launched a life-saving partnership, through a three-year fundraising scheme.

Locally, the Knights of St Columba Council 232 was founded on 16th November 1930 by the then
