We see poverty on a daily basis families struggling due to benefits systems families in overcrowded homeless units for years children hungry and families ripped apart by addiction ... we need to care for one another
#peoplematter
If we are thinking about New Year's Resolutions maybe it's a wish for us to work together to end poverty and give equity to all
#faithhopelove
a world where all are welcome and loved and none are judged
Wishing my staff, children and families a blessed and holy Christmas. It’s an honour to serve you, watching you grow in faith, hope and love.
