Seeking God’s presence, bringing hope to all

We are committed to working with, & where possible resourcing the community.

 

Cocaine Anonymous

Tuesdays, 7:30-8:30pm in the ground floor hall of the Shekinah Centre.

Cocaine Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from their addiction. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances.

There are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self supporting through our own contributions. We are not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organisation, or institution. We do not wish to engage in any controversy and we neither endorse nor oppose any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, and to help others achieve the same freedom.

The HOPE Project

Hope-Logo-2013-1024x791

The Hope Project has expanded to include ‘Hope Outdoors’, which undertakes to help with practical work around the outside of homes of people who are struggling to maintain those areas.

During the period 2014-2019 the Hope Project spent just over £25,000 supplying people with brand new white goods and furniture.

The Hope Project is the vision of Clare Parr, who wants to show in a practical way the goodness of God to those deprived of resources.

The Hope Project is a non-profit making organisation committed to providing help and quality household equipment to individuals & families. If you would like to donate a one off gift or give regularly to the Hope Project please click on the following link: www.hopeprojectpz.co.uk or why not take a look at the Hope Project Facebook page here.

Christians Against Poverty is a national, award-winning initiative, recommended by money saving expert Martin Lewis.
