Plymouth Foodbank
We are a church on two sites - our congregation gathers for worship at PMCH and serves both there and out of our second centre at Oasis in Stonehouse. Oasis is the home of many outreach ministries and is home to the Plymouth Foodbank.
Plymouth Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of Trussell Trust food banks providing emergency food and a wide range of support initiatives for people locked in poverty.
Plymouth Foodbank partners with a number of different organisations, charities and care professionals, including doctors, health visitors, social and support workers, schools and the police, to identify people in crisis and issue them with a foodbank voucher, where it can be redeemed for three days’ emergency food.
Volunteers welcome people and offer them further practical and pastoral support to help them resolve the crisis they face, through signposting to programs run by the Oasis Project and other support initiatives available in the wider community.

Faith in Action
FAST UK
FAST is an international outreach project of PMCH where we share our faith in a practical and financial way. FAST, a social enterprise charity based near Brasov in the Transylvanian hills of northern Romania, aims to help marginalised children and families through educational, vocational and community development projects,
Our involvement started in 2007 and to date over 60 church members and close relatives have travelled to Romania in support of the work out there. Each year a team consisting of mixed ages and experience, work with the locals to share some of their hopes and dreams. Nigel Morris leads a team who undertake a variety of building projects working alongside Roma people to promote self-help and work ownership. Another team led by Helena Mitchell, focusses on children’s work on the Roma village providing education and social care. The week-long visit also serves as a time of fellowship and provides an opportunity to see the country and explore Romanian culture.

Leprosy Mission
TLM works with people affected by leprosy, people with disabilities, and marginalised communities, especially women. It has a diverse set of programmes Healthcare, Sustainable Livelihood, Community Empowerment, Advocacy and Communication, and Research and Training.
PMCH has supported TLM ever 1980. A team of people worked together to provide support and also meet together for regular prayer. Each year TLM looks at supporting the work in one particular area. Last year was Hospital Heroes where we supported the doctors and nurses providing money so the work could continue.which it has done The year before we helped build the new outpatients in Purulia Hospital. This year we were meant to be helping to provide the equipment for the outpatients at Purulia but because of COVID-19 there is a greater need. The patients are going hungry so this year we have been asked to donate so it is possible to provide food for them. TLM asks not only that people donate but also continue to pray for the work. “Wellesley Bailey said “The Leprosy Mission was born in prayer and cradled in prayer” and we continue to surround the work in prayer.
