Our goal is to support families in any way we can, physically , practically, spiritually and emotionally. We have a barnabas fund in place to help those in our local communities who need assistance and we aim to help those in need primarily through this fund. We have set up the Trading Post at our Hindley Green Church . It’s situated at the Bethel on Atherton road , Hindley Green. We are open Friday from 10-11 am and give away fresh food ( fruit / veg/ baked goods) plus cupboard staples. We are also open Saturday 10-11 am for fresh food only . We are thankful to neighbourly stores ( Aldi, M&S, Lidl) for their continued support, to Slimming World, Hindley Green and Daisy Daycare for their generous donations. We feed between 30-60 families a week from the community. Our aim is to take the pressure off ordinary families and as such we do not ask for referrals , it’s a ‘whosever will may come ‘ organisation . We want families in our community to live life to the full and we help in any way we can .
