02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The charity operates through regular worship, prayer, and pastoral care, alongside practical support for both its members and the wider community. It encourages consistent church attendance to provide spiritual and emotional support across all ages, with members supporting one another through companionship, bereavement care, food parcels, vouchers, and practical help for single parents, the elderly, new mothers, and those at risk of loneliness. Attendance at church meetings remains very high at around 96%, including families with young children. Externally, the charity delivers structured outreach through a strategic partnership with the Rapid Relief Team, mobilising volunteers to provide food and refreshments at community events, emergency incidents, sporting fundraisers, and homelessness awareness initiatives, reflecting a volunteer-led, faith-based model focused on care, compassion, and practical relief.
