Helping the homeless locally

It’s our privilege to show Jesus’ love to those around us in our local communities.

Recently, some members of one of our Emmanuel Communities, based in Gilesgate, helped a local charity by sorting clothing donations.

Durham Action on Single Housing (DASH) supports people at risk of homelessness.

Our group has developed strong links with the charity over recent years, redecorating their facilities, sorting food donations, making up Christmas hampers and doing some gardening work.

Helping out a local charity

Members of our Emmanuel Community in Gilesgate have a long-standing friendship with Durham Action on Single Housing (DASH), a local homelessness charity.

Over the last couple of years, they have redecorated DASH’s residents’ communal room, helped out with gardening, sorted donated clothes and renovated donated furniture, as well as providing Christmas hampers for DASH residents.

On Sunday 14th October, they spent their afternoon helping out with gardening at DASH HQ and upcycling some donated furniture.

It’s great to be supporting such a good cause locally.

Helping out a local charity

One of our Emmanuel Communities that is based in Gilesgate, Durham, has been helping out Durham Action on Single Housing (DASH), which works to combat homelessness in the area.

Over recent weeks, members of the Community have painted a communal room, tided up an overgrown car park, donated Christmas hampers to residents and painted a storage room.

Great work guys!
