LIFE outreach

Life can be tough, and we all face struggles of all kinds. We want you to know that you don’t have to face it by yourself.

LIFE Outreach is here to offer a warm welcome, a listening ear, confidentiality, and the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.

This morning, a young man was found dead in a doorway. Now, it’s easy to read that as another tragic news story and scroll on. But he wasn’t a news story… He wasn’t a statistic… He was someone’s son! Tonight, there is a family devastated by the loss of their boy. A family who will be devastated at losing the hope of him coming home.

He was known to the Have a Heart team, and people just like him are the reason they are out there every week. We all know we can’t fix homelessness and we can’t change someone’s whole story. But we can do something… We can offer a warm, dry set of clothes… We can put a proper sleeping bag into someone’s hands… We can give someone a little comfort, dignity and hope for one more night.

Our winter clothing appeal is still running, and our sleeping bag appeal will continue throughout the winter. We’re hoping to raise enough to buy another pallet of sleeping bags. If you have clothes sitting in the wardrobe that you no longer wear, clear them out and give them to us. If you can spare a few pounds towards a sleeping bag… give what you can, no matter how little.

Everything we collect goes towards helping the person on the street…. No admin fees…. No wages…. No one taking a cut…. Just people helping people.

Because behind every statistic is a person…..and every person is worth helping!!

Maybe today you’re doing okay… Maybe you’re struggling… Maybe life has knocked you sideways and you’re not sure how to get back on your feet… Maybe your mind is full of worries and your heart feels heavy… Maybe you’re carrying something nobody else knows about… Maybe you have known Jesus and you’ve simply become distracted, life has got busy and other things have taken priority. Somewhere along the way you’ve found yourself a little further from Jesus than you meant to be…. Or maybe you’re carrying a past you’re ashamed of and wondering if God could really still want anything to do with you.

Wherever you find yourself today we want you know a truth - Jesus hasn’t changed His mind about you… because he already knew your whole story! He knew the days you would get it right and the days you would get it horribly wrong! He knew the times you would run towards Him and the times you would walk away! He knew your struggles, your doubts, your distractions, your failures and your fears. And knowing all of that… He still went to the cross for you.

Today we want you to know that you don’t have to get yourself sorted before you come to Jesus… come tired… come distracted…. come broken…. Come questioning… come ashamed…. Just come exactly as you are.

Wherever you are today, or whatever you are facing - your story isn’t finished. We have a saviour who meets you right where you are.

Have a blessed Sunday!

You’ve probably seen our winter appeal to raise funds for much needed sleeping bags for people facing the cold on our streets. But we don’t want to sit back and ask the public to get involved without getting involved ourselves….. That’s not how we do community.

So LIFE Outreach and Have a Heart have teamed up and bought our first pallet of sleeping bags! Or hope is to take some of the immediate pressure off and this will give Barbara and her team what they need to get out and start distributing them.

Remember…..this is only the start. Our appeal will run right through the winter, with the hope that together we can raise enough to buy another pallet!! Because every sleeping bag means a little more warmth… A little more dignity… And a reminder that somebody cares.

We’re asking our community to stand with us — because we want to stand with our community.

Tomorrow we’re open 10am–12pm…. and honestly, we’d love to see the place busy with people from our community. So, bring a friend or come on your own. Grab a coffee, have something sweet, play a game of pool or darts, or just sit down and have a good chat.

You don’t need a reason to come in… You don’t need to know anyone… And you certainly don’t need to stay for the whole two hours…. Just come through the door.

This space was created for our community — but it only becomes a community when people actually use it! So make a plan to come and see what LIFE is all about.

With Christmas getting closer, we want to offer a helping hand to anyone in our community who is struggling to get those wee jobs sorted.

You don’t need to be in crisis…. Sometimes you just need another pair of hands to help with that something you’re struggling to get to…get in touch and let us see if we can help. No fuss — just practical help from people who care about our community.

Don’t let those little jobs mount up to become a big weight on your shoulders….. give us a shout!

And if you don’t need any help…. Give this a share!! Someone you know might be struggling and glad of help.

We’re open from 7pm–9pm, and this place is here for the entire community.

So, bring a friend and catch up over a coffee on us…. Come in on your own and have a chat with us…. Bring a book or grab one from our shelf…. sit somewhere quiet…. or play some pool…. Just come through the door and see what we’re about.

There’s no agenda at all. Just a warm space, a brew, a biscuit and a place where you’re welcome.

Community only happens when people show up…. So why not show up tomorrow evening?

Our Winter Clothes Appeal is still running…..and as the temperatures drop, the need on our streets only grows.

You know those clothes that have been sitting at the back of the wardrobe for far too long … The things you’ve kept because “I might wear that someday”… or the clothes that are perfectly good, just the wrong size? NOW is the time to clear them out!

A warm coat... A sweatshirt… Joggers… Trainers… any clean, wearable clothes that you no longer need could make a real difference to someone who has very little to call their own this winter. Just bring them to us and through Have a Heart, we’ll make sure they get to people who need them most.

Don’t leave clearing out that wardrobe for another winter!

Our doors are open, and we’d love you to make use of the space we’ve created. That doesn’t mean you have to come in and sit with us. Just grab a table… meet a friend for a catch-up…. read your paper or a book…. OR just enjoy a bit of peace and quiet… whatever reason you come in, simply let us make you a brew and bring you a biscuit. This place is here for our whole community, and it only really becomes what we hope it can be when people actually use it.

And while you’re here, our Food for LIFE foodbank is also available during our opening hours.

If you need a little help, there’s no judgement and no fuss. Come in, enjoy a brew and leave with some groceries. But if coming through the door feels like too much… just drop us a message here. We can arrange things quietly and confidentially.

Our next sausage roll Saturday is just around the corner — and if you’ve been meaning to come in and see what LIFE Outreach is all about…. this is the perfect excuse!

Come in and while you enjoy one of the famous Irons Bakery sausage rolls, have a cuppa, and take a look around. You can sit for five minutes or stay for a few hours. Bring a friend and help us create the kind of atmosphere where community actually happens. And if you’ve been before… you already know what we’re about and how good those sausage rolls are!

Come and fill the place with people - make it a proper community morning!
