What the charity does

Money is raised through the charity shops to make grants, as decided by the trustees, to local groups serving the Bacup community. Clothing, bedding and toys, as and when available in the shops are given to those who for any reason find themselves in desperate need, usually by referral. As a group of churches we work together to promote the Christian faith through ecumenical events
