We exist to advance the Christian religion; to relieve poverty and those in need by reason of ill-health, disability, unemployment or such other disadvantage; and to advance education both general and vocational for children or adults but always within the principles of the Christian faith. We operate primarily in Wokingham and surrounding area but also support Christians in Nepal.
