In the charity's own words
WORDWISE, a Christian resource centre, is run by 6 Trustees, and a number of volunteers. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10.0am to 4.00pm. Donations of time and money are given by local Christians. A small coffee shop provides a warm welcome and a listening ear. We continue to have a sense of our prominent Christian presence in the centre of Kingsbridge.
