Foodbank

"The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline." We don't think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That's why we provide three days' nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. https://burngreave.foodbank.org.uk/

The Lighthouse project

We open up the doors to the Lighthouse because we know of local people that are in crisis. People that are suffering with addiction or maybe find themselves homeless. Most importantly we want to share God's love with them because we care, we will pray for them, give them something to eat, let them have a shower and freshen up and offer them clean clothes if they want it.
