What the charity does

Religious fellowship is provided at four national gatherings during the year, open to members and non-members. Our property in Burngreave, Sheffield, is being renovated, both the communal areas on the ground floor and the residential first floor, but programmes of biblical and interfaith study and discussion are being held in local groups around the country, currently using Zoom.
