For our community
FBC Community Teams practically, actively and intentionally love our community in a way that demonstrates the good new of Jesus.
What we do
We are here for you.
Everyone is welcome at the FBC Centre and there is always someone to speak to. Tuesday mornings are a good time to come down as there is lots of community happening with SHARE and the Friendship Table. We are also in contact with other local agencies, so if we can’t help we will direct you to someone who can. Alternatively, if you can’t get to the building you can contact care@finchampstead.com and we will get back to you.
Community Fund
Our community fund exists to offer one off gifts to those in our community in financial hardship situations. We can pay for essential items or services that will make a difference. If you are a family or individual in financial need, you can find our Community Fund application form below. We do ask that all applications are supported by someone who works for an organisation in the community who knows and supports you. More information can be found on the form or in the community fund policy document.
Links to other community support
We work with lots of wonderful people who are doing great things to support our community.
Here are a few examples.
Grief Support Group
Grief Kind Space is a weekly, in-person drop-in session held in the FBC cafe 10am until midday, and run by trained volunteers. The sessions provide a safe, informal and supportive place for people to come together and share their experiences of grief, helping attendees to feel heard and less alone.
Kaleidoscopic UK
A charitable organisation of survivors for survivors of domestic abuse. Kaleidoscopic UK regularly host events at FBC.
First Days Childrens Charity
We have a First Days donations collection bin by the entrance to the FBC centre. Donations of childrens school uniforms, coats and other items are gratefully received.
