Purpose Statement

Vision:

Transformed lives - We want to see people across the UK released from poverty, living with faith in Jesus and hope for the future.

No one should face debt and poverty alone:  The steadfast presence of a local church, ready to walk alongside you during the toughest financial storms.

Our aim is that when a vulnerable person who needs our type of face to face help is experiencing financial crisis or vulnerability, there will be a church in their community that is ready to walk alongside them.
