02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Smith Bequest allows us to offer support to those most in need within our church community and across the Arbroath area. Over the last year we have done this bu offering Warm Spaces - Soup Lunches during the winter months and weekly evening meals and companionship to those most in need. However, during 2024 Arbroath Old & Abbey Church was one of nine churches that formed a union to become Arbroath and District Church of Scotland and so we are currently working out how this and other Trust funds will be used as we move forward.
