Good Causes Supported by the Church
As a church community we are always willing to help good causes, both local and further afield. Below are details of the charities we help on a regular and occasional basis:
Barons Court Project was established in 1985 after a group of psychiatrists and social workers realised there was little or no provision for people living with mental health issues and people who are homeless in the locality. The company was registered on 23rd October 1985 (Number 1963453) and is also a registered charity (Number 296034).
Barons Court Project is the only day centre in Hammersmith and Fulham who support people that are on low income, homeless and/or vulnerable to mental health issues. In the borough we provide a space where people's basic needs can be met. It’s a place where you can take a shower, do your laundry, and have something to eat.
We also offer a range of wellness activities for everyone, from yoga, guitar sessions and art to workshops in life skills around cooking, IT and employability as well as supportive groups to aid in recovery and reduce isolation. We offer 1-1 support sessions where people can get advice and assistance with areas they may need help with.
We provide a safe environment where people can express themselves and feel a part of a community.
Child Action Lanka Centre for Street Children in Kandy. The Centre in Kandy, the third largest city in Sri Lanka, has become a haven of security for more than 150 youngsters. We have had many fundraising events and have built a house for one of the leaders Ramesh to live and work safely, and most recently a Bus For Child Action Lanka to safely transport children to the centre.
The project has expanded to include workshops and skills training for the mums also, many of whom beg on the street.
We support this charity through retirement collections at our Harvest Thanksgiving service in October and by having fun events throughout the year.
Home-Start Runnymede & Woking is a local charity which provides emotional and practical support to parents with at least one child under five years old.
We are an independent charity affiliated to Home-Start UK, the country’s leading family support charity. Our volunteers are all parents and are trained, supported and supervised to Home-Start UK standards.
Here at Holy Trinity Lyne we support the Salvation Army Tin-A-Week scheme and encourage our parishioners to bring non-perishable food stuffs every Sunday when they come to worship. We always collect tins for the Salvation Army at our Harvest Thanksgiving service.
At Christmas we ask our weekly donors to consider swapping from basic food stuffs to things that would appeal to children, such as chocolate biscuits, crisps, sweets, cakes etc. Christmas week boxes for families with children can then include an 'interesting' extra item sure to raise a smile.
East to West are bringing hope to young lives all across Surrey and Windsor. During 2021/22 we supported 1,648 local children, young people and their families struggling with difficult and damaging issues, working through local schools to offer help in both emotional and practical ways.
Since 1997 east to west have been bringing hope to young lives all across Surrey and Berkshire. Right now we’re supporting 1,648 local children, young people and their families struggling with difficult and damaging issues, from self-harming and bullying to broken family relationships, abuse and even homelessness.
Most of our work takes place in local schools, where our Relational Support Workers are journeying alongside young people to understand their situations, grow their confidence and help them thrive. Often our work takes place in 1-1 and group sessions, listening to and caring for students over several months or even years. But it can also involve practical help like going with children to doctor’s appointments or food banks, connecting them with a social worker or specialist counsellor, mending holes in their school uniform, or just making sure they get breakfast.
Whatever kind of help is required, we’ll support them for as long as they need it, because we believe that every vulnerable child and young person in our area should be able to experience wholeness and hope.
