Who We Are:

GCM was established in 2003 to support people on the streets by sitting with them, praying with them and offering them basic necessities to survive. Since those days we have grown significantly and currently have a staff team of 10 people offering love, care, support, hope and transformation to clients on the streets, those in temporary accommodation or people who are in any way vulnerable.

What We Do:

• Outreach teams going into the city centre 5 days a week offering food, drinks and prayer;
• Renew (72 Eastgate Street) – our main offices, drop in centre, Training Centre and Winter Shelter (operating Dec 1st until Mar 31st)
• Refresh – this is our weekly hot lunch service and time for fellowship at St Mary’s Congregational Church;
• Restore – a shop in Southgate Street for clients to come to get fresh clothes, toiletries and emergency provisions
• Our Revive Coffee House in the Eastgate Shopping Centre where we offer employment opportunities to people who have experienced homelessness or addictions;
• Our mobile outreach teams support rough sleeps away from the city centre;
• Replenish – warehouse storage space

Why We Need You:

On average it costs over £18k per month to operate GCM and we still rely purely on donations, fundraising and grants so if you are able to help us financially that would be very welcome. On top of that it costs us £34,000 to run the winter shelter each year.
