- The Harbour Project - We aid refugees and asylum seekers across Swindon. We give friendship, advice and hope. As well as financial support, on the first Sunday of each month we are collecting donations of provisions for the Food Bank. If you have any donations you wish to pass to the Food Bank please pass them to us any Sunday, in addition at our harvest festival service we have also collected goods and donations for the Food Bank.
We support The Filling Station, a local charity helping the homeless around Swindon, through preparing sandwiches and providing provisions and clothing, which are then distributed. In 2009 they were awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
There are many other charities we support on an adhoc basis including digging wells in Africa, Nursery schools in the Philippines, Christmas Child etc.
