Our vision is to provide help and hope to people in need by churches working together in unity.
Torch provides a completely free service to everyone. Self or agency referrals to Torch can be made. All referrals are triaged by a Coordinator who will select the appropriate volunteer. All volunteers are DBS cleared and, where possible, come from the local community near the client.
We also signpost or make onward referrals to appropriate activities and other organisations that might be better placed to provide the help needed such as friendship, wellbeing, practical support, specialist advice and assistance with making good life choices.
Much of the support is available through local churches that provide a wide range of activities for the benefit of the local community.
Torch also helps to facilitate community events in partnership with local agencies, groups and charities to enhance the local neighbourhood whilst supporting and bringing people together.
