THE BIG BLUE BIN

Oakwood Church supports many charities in a variety of ways. One initiative is THE BIG BLUE BIN

Each month we collect non-perishable food items and toiletries for the four charities listed below. They each benefit from our donations three times a year

Caring for Life

Situated in Cookridge, this is a Christian charity with the aim of sharing the love of Jesus with homeless and other vulnerable people by providing accommodation, ongoing support, love and friendship and, when necessary, providing that care ‘for life'

St George's Crypt

The charity in the heart of the city of Leeds, working with the homeless, the vulnerable, and those suffering from addiction

PAFRAS - Positive Action for

         Refugees and Asylum Seekers

Based at St Aiden's Church, Harehills, their aims are to

• reduce the effects of destitution and poverty

• improve physical health and mental wellbeing

• support access to mainstream services

• raise awareness of the problem of destitution among local com­munities

The Meeting Point Cafe

‘A beacon in the heart of Harehills’. For all the years it has been open it has continued its work of offering friendship, care and concern to its many customers

If you would like to donate something to any of these charities, please drop your contributions in the Big Blue Bin in the foyer at Oakwood Church
