02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

In conjunction with the amalgamated organisation of Interserve Great Britain and Ireland a religious charitable society. It works for, with and through the local church in around 40 countries across Asia and the Arab world. among these peoples living in ‘diaspora’ in Great Britain & Ireland. Interserve works ‘wholistically’, serving the whole person, within a social context. We do this by: recruiting Christians in our focus area for service.serving local churches through training how to reach out to those from other cultures and faiths in appropriate and respectful ways. contributing to social cohesion and the common good in multi-religious societies. Workers are often placed into projects led by other charities, local churches and other institutions set up to meet the common good and in line with our charitable objects.
