Subject: Give a gift that will last this Christmas
| | | | | | | | A recent survey of nearly 2,000 church leaders found that loneliness was the most significant social problem facing local communities*. Sue knows the value of a supportive community. She has been a beneficiary of HOPE, a Church Urban Fund-supported project in Nottingham. When she was at her lowest it was through her local community networks that she found the support to get back on her feet again. She says… | | | | | "I just love what HOPE are doing for people. They are there to put people in the right direction. I see people coming through the door in desperation and then they're going out that little bit lighter. That was me all those years ago." | | | Sue now volunteers at HOPE and in her wider locality using her experiences to support others through the situations she has faced. Could you help us with a gift today that could help a church- or community-project so they can reach out to people looking for help and support like Sue once was? Your gift could help to make a world of difference to someone who finds themselves at the margins of society, and last long after the Christmas tinsel has come down. | | | | | | | | | Canon Paul Hackwood
