BUS OF HOPE
To fulfil the mission of bringing hope to those who need it, the ‘Bus of Hope’ is used as a mobile resource from which various projects, services, and outreaches into our community can be facilitated to meet an identified need. We work with local churches, voluntary organisations, housing associations, the local council and police to identify those needs and establish and run the required projects.

STREET PASTORS
Street Pastors is an inter-denominational church response to urban problems, engaging with people on the streets to care, listen and engage in a dialogue.
“From a policing point of view, having these people working with us to ensure the safety of people who visit Newbury during the night time can only be a good thing as it will help reduce alcohol related crime by offering support to the police.”

 

TOWN CHAPLAINCY
The idea behind this initiative is that members of the team are available for both shop workers, market traders and shoppers alike.
“Among you, with you, for you: a caring, listening ear”
So many people carry burdens and worries of different kinds, and by giving them an opportunity for people to share them, it will make a difference to them as individuals and our community.
