All these social opportunities help bring people together to nurture a sense of togetherness and knowledge that others are looking out for them. In turn, this boosts confidence and gives many the courage to make positive changes in their lives. By collaborating with other local groups, we've achieved a lot over the last fourteen years. We've teamed up with Teen Challenge, which is based all over the UK to get addicts into a 12 month rehab. They'll learn social skills, respect, life skills and have a chance to move into job at the end of it. There's nothing better for their self esteem and confidence! We're also linked up with Thompson Mission, YMCA, Wirral Arc, Probation, Wirral Ways, and Birkenhead Court. We stand with our community members in court to appeal on their behalf before being sentenced. Plus, we buy new clothes and toiletries for people before they go in and visit them in jail. At the moment, we have over 20 volunteers working with us helping on the streets and in our centre with paperwork and accounts. Our volunteers grow and learn skills with us that empower them to become more employable. All these opportunities are free for our community. It's a weekly struggle keeping up with demand financially but are greatful to patners like m&s , lidl , asda . We pray everything forward. God is good and faithful. If you know anyway at all that we can be helped with any of this let me know. We love the work we do and have grown so much over last fourteen years.
