Community Works
Community Works was borne out of a desire to offer practical help to people in Diss, Harleston and the surrounding villages. All the work undertaken is done on a voluntary and non-discriminatory basis, in order to demonstrate the love of God, improve people's quality of life, and help to create community.
Community Works seeks to serve...
-
Those who lack the finance to support themselves
- The elderly without transport or nearby family
- Single-parent families
- The sick or disabled with no supportive network
- Those experiencing a time of crisis, or needing a fresh start
Many of the people we help are referred to us by Housing Associations, Social Services, Housing Support Agencies or other organisations.
Aspects of our work:
- Furniture project: Distributing furniture that is clean and in really good condition to those in need.
