In 1955, the Crusade of Rescue — the Catholic Diocese of Westminster's child care organisation — established its headquarters at 73 St Charles Square, North Kensington, London W10.

In 1958, when the St Vincent's Home at Feltham closed, its remaining inmates were transferred to St Charles Square. They were followed from Feltham in 1962 by the children from the St Anthony's Home for Girls and St Theresa's Nursery.

The Crusade of Rescue, now known as The Catholic Children's Society (Westminster), is still based at the St George's Square site.
