We are challenging ourselves to collectively achieve an extra 1000km of activity made up of lots of ‘10s’. Join us and get sponsored by friends, colleagues, and family to help us reach our goal of £30,000 in support of the Parish Nursing Service and the work of Torch.
Torch facilitates a network of local churches and charities working together to provide a helping hand to those who otherwise cannot get help and tend to fall through the gaps of existing provision.
Urgent helpAre you in urgent need of anything?
We offer short term support for anyone in need or unable to get out. For example, we can collect your food shopping, pick up a prescription for you, or connect you with another local charity or organisation for longer term help.
Enhanced wellbeingWould you like someone to chat or pray with you?
We can help provide friendly support to improve your emotional and mental wellbeing, such as chatting or praying with you.
Confidence buildingCan we help build your confidence to get back on your feet?
We can help you get out of the house for social re-engagement or to attend appointments, etc.
AdvocacyDo you need support when attending an important appointment?
We can go with you to critical appointments to support you in stressful times of anxiety and uncertainty.
Practical tasksCan we help with essential practical tasks (basic DIY/gardening)?
We’d love to help with small essential jobs around the house or garden that you’re unable to do yourself. If the job is too big for us, we can point you other charities or organisations that will be able to help.
Personal helpDo you need help with paperwork, CVs or form filling?
We can help with the aspects of every day life such as paperwork, writing CVs, filling out forms or sorting post.
