Metodistkirkens Sociale Arbejde

Founded in 1910, Metodistkirkens Sociale Arbejde is a charity based in København K, Denmark working on housing & homelessness, poverty & hunger, children & youth.

Metodistkirkens Sociale Arbejde (MSA), also known as Centralmissionen, is a self-governing social institution linked to the Methodist Church in Denmark. Founded in 1910 in Copenhagen, it works to support homeless people and others who are socially or economically vulnerable, aiming to help them towards a better everyday life. Its services include a warm café, communal meals, food and clothing distribution, Christmas aid, shared housing, student housing, family and children's camps, counselling and cultural activities. Its main activity is centred on Copenhagen, but it also operates nationally through local Methodist congregations in Strandby, Aarhus, Vejle, Odense, Solrød and Rønne. The organisation is run by an unpaid board and a small number of paid staff, supported by many volunteers. It also rents out properties to other social and charitable institutions and to private tenants, with rental income supporting its social work.
