02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our aim is to show Gods love to the community we live in. We want to get to know our community and help them in any area we can. We want to reach those who are hurting and in despair, we run a free café each week and this is well attended, it enables us to get to know our community. We are a small church. we have a heart for those who are struggling with addictions. We encourage those who are in downhearted and feel hopeless. We want to support those who do not have access to a computer and encourage them to see what help is available online. We have many who have attended the café who come on a Sunday and also to other mid week happenings and it is rewarding to see them flourish.
