Yorkshire And Humberside
Across Yorkshire and Humberside, we are passionate about sharing the gospel with young people and partnering with the local church through our different ministry areas.
Enterprise & Community Groceries
We’ve recently secured a building in Sheffield from which we’re planning to launch our enterprise work in South Yorkshire offering fair pay, training, specialised pastoral care and discipleship to ex-offenders and those at risk of re-offending. From the building we hope to provide an enterprise centre, rented offices as well as an events space, and now a Community Grocery!
We launched our first Community Grocery in Sheffield in March 2021 with more to come! Community Groceries are all about bridging the gap between supermarkets and foodbanks. Using surplus food fresh from local supermarkets, our groceries make the cost of the weekly shop more affordable. Members can come and shop from £4 – saving up to £30 per shop – getting all the food they need for their family.
But it’s about more than food. We also provide members with free wrap-around support and access to courses too. Courses include debt management support through CAP, cooking lessons, investigating Christianity courses and Alpha courses, plus many more.
Watch the video below to find out more. You can help us turn this vision into a reality by supporting the work here.
