Story

GCM works with adults who are homeless, marginalised or vulnerable. On average this means that we directly work with an 150 people per week. Its important to understand what homeless actually means as well though because it is more that just those who are rough sleeping on the streets. It is also those who are in temporary accommodation units, hostels, squats, dry and wet houses, emergency housing and sofa surfers.

We try to offer hope to people that their lives can change, ideally through them finding Jesus but through us offering them practical, physical, emotional and spiritual help.

We offer support in three ways - through aid, transformation and growth.

To offer Aid we have;

Street teams going into the city centre 5 days week offering food, drinks and prayer;

Refresh this is our weekly hot lunch service and time for fellowship at St Marys Congregational Church;

The citys Winter Shelter with 15 beds, food, showers, clothes, prayer and guidance which opened on Nov 1
