Get involved

Bags of Hope is one way our church tries to support our local community and we welcome you to be a part of this. You can do so in two ways:

If you are in a position to give, we collect food donations for our Bags of Hope cafeĢ at the entrance to our church building on The Strand. We’re open Sunday to Monday and we’d be really happy to receive your donation – in the words of a famous brand every little really does help.

Maybe you’re at a time in your life when you need to receive. That’s why we’re here. If you’d like support for you and your family then please sign up for your Bag of Hope.
