Advocating for the South West Baptist Association
A quote from Shekinah’s website on what they do:
”Shekinah believes that each of us wants to live an ordinary, good life, and achieving this for everyone is a matter of social justice. For over 30 years, our services have supported people to build positive lives and futures by helping to find accommodation, assisting improved physical and mental wellbeing, providing training and personal development opportunities, and giving practical support to find employment.”
“The support we receive from Churches is vital as it helps us to support people on their journey out of homelessness. Through fundraising, campaigning, awareness-raising and prayer, you are helping to improve the lives of people who are navigating through their own set of challenges. We are hugely grateful for your support, any way you can get involved will make a big difference.”
