Community Service & Vocation



We run/organise a variety of different activities which are for the benefit of the local community.  These include supporting Young Carers , food parcels for needy families at Christmas, a monthly food collection for homeless families at Family Mosaic, Beacon House and the Foodbank, dictionaries for local primary schools, a trip to the Zoo for special needs children, an annual award for Young Adult Carers and much more.
