West End Impact is a Christian charity, but not exclusively for church people; our faith inspires us to do what we do, but we help and include anyone.
We assist people in reacting to crisis and rebuilding lives. A crisis is often the first point of contact. It may start with us providing a free meal or food parcel (from our small food bank) and then, as we get into conversation, we assess the needs and see where we can assist. This could be Advice & Guidance on Benefits, Housing, Budgeting and Well-being, laptop use, free Wi-Fi, and use of the telephone.
‘Re-Building Lives’ includes various projects to help just that. Our Well-Being Wednesday with Living Life to the Full a CBT group for people suffering from depression, stress, anxiety, and low-mood, mental health cafe, therapeutic drumming, and art group or our extensive volunteer programme with opportunities in our two social enterprise shops with help to develop arts and crafts, retail experience, AQA qualifications.
And above all, we are a community of people with lived experience where everyone is welcomed and accepted.
