May Charity Offering - The Leprosy Mission

 

“We are a global Christian organisation leading the fight against leprosy. Following Jesus Christ, we seek to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy and empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness.

 

“The Mission is recognised across the world for excellence in the fields of leprosy, neglected tropical diseases and disability. We pioneer ground-breaking surgical techniques and rehabilitation programmes that transform lives.

 

“Our work goes beyond medical care for a holistic approach that includes early detection, education, rehabilitation, water and sanitation, community reintegration, counselling and psychosocial support, research and advocacy. Together with our partners, we continue to research a diagnostic test and a vaccine for leprosy.”

Lone Working

The church is developing a ‘lone working policy’ for working alone as a volunteer or employee, whether on or off church premises. The policy will be discussed at the next church meeting. In the meantime:

• Please ensure the external doors are locked if you’re in church premises on your own.

• If on you’re own either on or off church premises, please make sure others know where you are and roughly when to expect you back.

Some of our members are volunteer drivers on this scheme and some of the people who come to the church or events and meetings use the scheme.  There are pamphlets about the scheme in the vestibule. More details can be found at the button below.
