From our office base at Chorley, UK we work with Churches and trusted Christian partners across the world and in the UK to relieve suffering through practical aid such as food, clothing, medical supplies and shoebox gifts.
Our dedicated staff and volunteers in Eastern Europe, West Africa and India also share Christ’s love with people in need through a wide range of ministries.
