For some time, a number of our folk have been concerned about the pressures being placed on families by the current economic climate. Rachel, one of our members, works for Christians Against Poverty – https://capuk.org/ - and a while ago she gave a brilliant talk at one of our own arrangement services that strengthened this concern, but what could we do? We don’t really have the resources to set up a CAP course or club, and although appreciated, financial help just doesn’t provide us with the opportunity to do something practical. Then, we remembered something that Rachel said about their first visits to families often finding the cupboards empty and that they’d not eaten properly for days. That provided the answer. We’re setting up a Food Bank to support those families in crisis and from September are inviting everyone who comes on to our premises to donate tinned or dry food if they can. What’s more, this gives us an opportunity to do something together with our community grou
We aim to be a worshipping, welcoming, caring Christian presence sharing the good news of Jesus within our community
