Genesis Trust were hugely appreciative of St Stephen's Christmas donation.
The Trust have had an eventful and challenging last few years but on Monday 9 February they re-opened their doors at the Gateway Centre off London Road. Following a damaging flood, The Gateway Centre has been refurbished with new facilities, windows, doors and roofing. This sparkling new building will enable the Trust to restart Wednesday breakfasts, plus a Friday lunch.
Their Life Skills courses will receive a major boost too as the bigger space means more people can attend these social and upskilling opportunities. Genesis will also continue activities such as SMART Recovery, Life Course and Faith Group, which are hugely valued by theirr clients:
‘The course helped me deal with character traits that have held me back in life. Tackle issue and problems in a more constructive way. I’ve learnt a lot about health, mental and physical wellbeing.’ Life Course client
So thank you to our St Stephen's Christmas congregation for their generosity. Your gift means that Genesis can continue with food provision, courses and one-to-one support to provide new beginnings and better futures for those in need.
