Helping local people in our community who are in crisis
In April 2023, our church set up the Centre of Hope Services to provide food and clothes for those in our local community who are in crisis. We also provide a health check service once a quarter, where the community can come and get a free Health MOT. With the increase in the cost of living, the Centre of Hope Services is committed to making sure that people facing crisis in our local community is provided with food and clothes. This of course can only be done with your continued support in both donations and volunteering.
The Centre of Hope Services is open every Saturday and Sunday from 11:15am-12:30pm, and serves non-perishable food items and clothing to anyone who turns up, regardless of their circumstances. Please come along and meet our friendly team who are waiting to serve you.
