Partner Charities
PMCH & Plymouth Soup Run
Plymouth Soup Run is a community and faith driven service providing free food and hot drinks to homeless, hungry and vulnerable people 365 days of the year. PMCH is part of this set up which is a collective of local churches, businesses, organisations and the Shekinah Mission.
The Soup Run team works closely with Plymouth Access to Housing (PATH), referring vulnerable people as necessary to the Rough Sleepers Team, Community Connections Team or signposting to other city services to help with any medical, health, financial, accommodation or employment support need. There’s even a street vet service to support the well-being of dogs etc.

Cuttack Diocese in Orissa
For about 12 years the Plymouth and Exeter Methodist District have partnered with the Cuttack Diocese in Orissa, India. This has included visiting each other and supporting the Diocese in prayer, finances and many educational and health projects in the area.
PMCH church members involved with Methodist Women in Britain have contributed to the new inpatient block that the Berhampur Christian Hospital have built over 2 years and opened in February 2024. All the staff went a month without wages and are delighted they have modern facilities for maternity, special care baby units, paediatric, cancer and dementia wards, as well as operating theatres and new delivery suites. The outpatient department sees 193 patients a day and clinics in the tribal areas now have ambulances so more women are having their babies in hospital.
In February 2024 a team of 8 visited from the District and expressed the need for Doctors to go and help in the new hospital block.
