Sainsbury's Edenthorpe

We are a Peer Support Group established in 2010 to promote good mental health. We work across the borough of Doncaster and have a membership bas of over 700 Peer Supporters. Each person pledges to both give and receive support. We operate from The Wellness Centre which is open 6 days a week providing activities, learning opportunities and friendships. We also run The Safe Space which is 7 days a week crisis support. We are big on people having the opportunity to be a real part of their community and build meaningful connections. We have a food bank, mental health crisis support, many creative groups, fitness, music and so much more. Our philosophy is that everyone has skills and gifts to offer in their community and we are simply people helping people.

We are a church dedicated to bringing hope and joy to our community through acts of love and service. Our ongoing care home outreach involves singing hymns and spending time with residents, bringing comfort, companionship, and the joy of Christ to the elderly. We are now expanding our outreach to include the distribution of food hampers to individuals and families facing financial hardship. This includes single-parent households, the elderly, and asylum seekers. Through this initiative, we aim to offer not just food, but hope, dignity, and the assurance that they are not alone. The food we receive will also support our Bible study groups and holiday outreach programs by providing healthy snacks and meals, ensuring that children are physically nourished while they learn about God's love. By redistributing surplus food, we honour our calling to be good stewards of God's creation, reducing food waste and caring for the environment. This extension of our ministry allows us to meet immediate physical needs, while also opening the door to deeper support, prayer, and spiritual transformation.

We are a group set up about 5 years ago to help alleviate food poverty in our local area.
