ANDREW HOUSE,
one of the current mission projects at St Andrew`s Church, Clevedon
one of the current mission projects at St Andrew`s Church, Clevedon
Andrew House formerly run by the Christian charity Alabare is now funded and managed by local
Clevedon Christian charity CHANGING LIVES CHARITY giving hope and a future. 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 in voluntary 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 ensured the house is kept open and staffed. "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 can be paid for with added funding. 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?
Do consider donating to CHANGING LIVES CHARITY who own Andrew House
and have recently carried out extensive repairs to the house.
by going to: www.david.tomlinson@changinglivescharity.org
and: Please support the Changing Lives shops in our region - Thank you
Why not support associated fund-raising events?
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.
