The Community Project

The Community Project is for everyone who lives in our community irrespective of race, religion, disability or sexual orientation. The Project consists of a number of regular activities, plus others that are responses to particular needs of individuals.

The aims of the Project are:

• To develop a network of care amongst the local community and caring professionals, motivated by practical Christian concern;
• To provide a channel through which people can give and receive time, money, skills and things to improve the lives of local people;
• To create bridges between the community and the church so that local people can experience the love of Christ.
