one of the current mission projects at St Andrew`sChurch, Clevedon
Alabare is a Christian Charity founded in Salisbury in 1984 in response to the problem of homelessness and to promote a “society where everyone has an opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling life.” Christian centres were established in 1991 with funding from charitable donations, local authorities and the government.
Andrew House is run by Alabare and recently celebrated its 12th year. Vulnerable men who have come through drug and alcohol rehabilitation schemes are offered accommodation and a programme that gives them the opportunity to improve their quality of life, preparing them to live independently.
A stable environment is provided at 21 Victoria Road, support is offered and independence is nurtured. There are 11 rooms and the residents are involved involuntary work, training courses, meetings and 1-2-1 sessions with skilled key workers who provide help and support.
Several men attend local churches, particularly CBC, Living Waters and St Andrews, and some of the men have helped with the Glebe Project. When the Church Centre was renovated men from Andrew House and ex-residents contributed to the work carried out.
For some time St Andrews has supported Andrew House in various practical ways and currently in financial ways as one of our main missions. Money donated has been used to provide “extras” like travel to attend college courses or to visit families, educational fees, equipment for voluntary work and local outings, such as to the SS Great Britain or a walk in the Mendips. At Christmas gifts of food are donated and one year each resident was presented with a chocolate egg at Easter.
How can YOU help this worthwhile local cause whose work has been praised in the county?
Why not support associated fund-raising events?
We aim to support RE:Mission in its work to ensure that the good work at Andrew House can continue.
---- a SLEEP OUT was held in Queen's Square on Good Friday, April 14th.
---- a RE:MISSION fund raising event will take place on Sunday 25th June with a SPONSORED WALK or RUN!! of 5k, 10k, or for the more ambitious 20k!!
Andrew House holds its own events too. Certainly continued prayer support for the men and the staff who live and work alongside each other at Andrew House is very important.
