Homelessness

 

Here at Bath Abbey, we continue to work with and support a number of housing organisations and homeless charities throughout BANES. We are able to do this through a combination of visitor donations, fundraising events and congregational giving. Members of our congregation also get involved by volunteering their time.  Please help us continue the essential work we are doing.

 

Genesis Lunch

Throughout the year, the Genesis Trust, a local Christian charity, provides a Sunday Centre for the homeless and the low- and un- waged.  Teams from Bath churches operate this on an 8-week rota and one team is made up of people from the Abbey and St Michael's.  The Centre offers a 2-course lunch for £1, or 2 Genesis Trust vouchers, with unlimited tea, coffee and squash, Sunday papers and a place to relax and talk.

The Centre is normally based at Nexus Methodist Church and is open from 1pm to 3pm every Sunday of the year. The Sunday Centre Team is just one aspect of the Abbey's outreach work with the socially vulnerable and new volunteers are always welcome.
